[Childhood obesity and early food experiences].
Authors insist on the role of early food experiences in the constitution of young child obesity. Obesity often appears precociously within the first two years of life. In many cases, it results from inappropriate feeding behaviors, behaviors of overfeeding deteriorating the mechanisms of energy regulation of the child. The prevention requires a work on the early baby/environment interactions.
