This article analyzes the data of the literature about the effect of nutritional support in the prenatal period and infancy on the development of obesity in children. We know that almost 60% of adults who are obese, have overweight problems that began in childhood and adolescence. Obesity and its complications (diabetes type 2, hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, cancer) are associated with numerous genetic markers, but some hormonal, syndromic or molecular genetic disorders can explain less than 5% of all cases of obesity. We have shown the role of low and high protein content in the diet of fetus and child in the first year of life in the development of obesity in children. It was analyzed the concept and predictable mechanisms of food (nutritional) software for obesity. Breastfeeding reduces the risk of excessive weight gain in adulthood, while the artificial feeding promotes obesity. Attention is focused on maintaining breastfeeding until 6 months of age to ensure optimal growth and development.

Key words: obesity in children antenatal period, nutritional status, nutritional programming.
