The World Health Organization (WHO) will publish next year a new guide on the growth and obesity of healthy children, which will help prevent malnutrition and obesity.
The measures now used are elaborated with data collected in the 1970s. The biggest problem is that children with natural lactation are lighter than those who take adapted cow's milk. Consequently, many nursing mothers believe that their children do not grow enough, although it is best for the child to drink breast milk.
