Daycared Kids Gain More Weight

Sorry, working parents (and yes, I'm one of them): A recent study of thousands of kids says that infants cared for by caregivers other than their parents tend to gain more weight than children cared for by parents. The kids under care are also less likely to be breastfed and more likely to start eating solid foods early. No surprise on that point--as many a working mom can attest, pumping breast milk on the job requires some serious dedication.
