It does seem that some of the comments seem to think that the point that breastfed babies are less likely to be obese in later life means the article is saying:
- If you breastfeed, you won't be obese.
- If you don't breastfeed, you will be.
Incidentally, the wee fella has been exclusively breastfed and has been consistently in the 90th percentile weight wise (aka he's a big boy) for the last four and a half months. I don't think he's particularly fat, just big. He also has the most gorgeous smile!

Amusingly, someone stuck "big breast" in Google's blog search and hit this article.
i think it says a lot if you're able to let your child decide as and when he'll eat. it doesn't fit in with 'routine' for most people. and i don't think it's 'fair' to scare mums with growth charts and things - you can usually look at a baby and see how healthy they are and if they're growing. that's what i think anyway. g's started out high then dropped to the 50th centile and a bit below. still looks/acts healthy though!
