- Abstract
An interdisciplinary team of obesity, prenatal health, and weight bias experts and individuals with lived experience of obesity during pregnancy developed a pregnancy-specific internalized weight bias scale. In this issue of I Obesity i , Dieterich and colleagues assessed whether internalized weight bias during late pregnancy was predictive of initiation, continuation, and cessation of breastfeeding. Although Dieterich et al. did not find an association with internalized weight bias and breastfeeding behaviors, a key limitation to their study that the authors emphasized is a lack of a pregnancy-specific internalized weight bias assessment scale.
