Obesity and Metabolic Disease Epidemiologic studies suggest that children who are formula fed in infancy are more likely to become obese or develop type 2 diabetes.

It became common to add flour to milk (or water), to produce a more solid food and this became known as pap which could be fed to the infant from a spoon or a “pap boat”. Pap boats came in tin, and for the wealthy, enamelled ware or silver.
