LOS ANGELES

A study of more than 11,000 children found that babies who had antibiotics during their first five months were 22 percent more likely to be obese by the time they were 3 years old.

On the other hand, children who had antibiotics between 6 months and 2 years of age didn't have any increase in obesity. The study focused on British children.
