Once a child becomes obese, it is quite likely that s/he will remain obese as an adult.
Breastmilk could influence the development of a taste receptors profile which fosters a preference for lower energy diets later on in life.
Artificially fed infants consume 30,000 more calories than breastfed infants by 8 months of age.
(Riordan and Aerbach Breastfeeding & Human Lactation Jones and Bartlett 1999)
CONCLUSION: Longer duration of breastfeeding was associated with a significantly lower prevalence of overweight. Possible explanations: the fact that intake varies at each feed during breastfeeding, a lower energy density of human milk compared with formula milk, better self-control of food consumption in breastfed children
Conclusion: The results highlight the importance and possible preventive potential of early nutrition in the development of overweight in children. Both feeding behaviours acquired by the nursing infant and metabolic effects may contribute to the observed inverse association of breast feeding and overweight in children
Conclusion: Breastfeeding found to be protective with regard to obesity. This effect was stronger if the children were exclusively breast-fed.
CONCLUSION: Breast-feeding seems to have a small but consistent protective effect against obesity in children.
CONCLUSION: This study reinforces the rationale for recommendations to breastfeed for at least a year
CONCLUSION: This study among 2087 Australian children concluded that babies breastfed for at least a year are leaner than those weaned earlier. The duration of breastfeeding was inversely associated with the risk of overweight. Babies never breastfed were the most likely overweight.
Surveys of Norwegian youth indicated that breastfeeding reduced subsequent risk of obesity.

Breastfeeding during infancy appears to protect against adolescent overweight and obesity.
CONCLUSION: A meta-analysis of the existing studies on duration of breastfeeding and risk of overweight strongly supports a dose-dependent association between longer duration of breastfeeding and decrease in risk of overweight.
CONCLUSION: The seven-year study of 8,500 children by the WHO in 6 countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the USA) shows that babies exclusively breastfed for six months are healthier and leaner than artificially fed babies..[2]
Conclusion: Early bottle-feeding brings forward the obesity rebound, predictive of obesity in later life
