问题     When an expectant mom regularly eats her meals in front of the TV, chances are she’ll continue that habit during her baby’s feedings, a new study shows. That’s a concern because 【B1】______ who watch mealtime TV likely become young children who watch TV while eating. And【B2】______ research suggests that youngsters who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially during mealtime, are【B3】______ becoming overweight or obese, the researchers noted. An immediate problem with mothers watching TV during feedings is that they might miss the【B4】______ cues that indicate their baby is full, and【B5】______ overfeeding their babies, said study author Dr. Mary Jo Messito. She is an【B6】______ professor of clinical pediatrics(小儿科)at the New York University School of Medicine.

That could【B9】______ lead to mealtime TV becoming a habit. The study authors noted that other research has shown that TV habits developed in childhood tend to continue into young adulthood. The research is【B10】______ to be presented Tuesday at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in Vancouver. Studies presented at medical meetings are typically viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
