...major priority for regulators will be averting such lending binges--as new, tougher mortgage rules from the Federal Reserve aim to do. But at the same time, many on Wall Street and in Washington fear that the correction could careen into an economic cataclysm. That's why the Fed has intervened at the top of the financial food chain by cutting interest rates and bankrolling a shotgun takeover of the investment bank Bear Stearns.

"We need to answer the next questions that this study asks," she says. "What types of food are babies in child care eating? When are they fed? How are they fed? Are they eating higher calorie foods or just eating more often? We don't know anything about this yet."

One way bottle-feeding promotes obesity is that the person wielding the bottle often determines when the feeding is over; breast-fed babies stop eating when they are full. The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated that breast-feeding is a way to lower a child's risk of becoming overweight, along with increasing child activity, monitoring growth and promoting healthy eating patterns.
