Chicago Tribune story entitled "U.S. Newborns are Weighing Less." Despite the growing obesity problem in the US (which is linked to larger babies), the average newborn in the US weighs 2.8 ounces less now than he/she did a decade ago. Why do you think this might be, given the information in the article? What other factors might be influencing newborn weight? What could be done to change this outcome?
