Pureed baby food is more likely to make children obese than solid finger foods, British researchers claimed.

Researchers from the University of Nottingham, in central England, studied 92 children who were weaned on finger foods and 63 who were spoon-fed purees and found fewer cases of obesity in the children who fed themselves.

The children -- who were aged between 20 months and 6 years old -- were fed by their parents, who then recorded their responses to 151 different foods.
