Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes have more body fat at two months of age compared to babies born to healthy mothers, says a new study. Scientists used MRI scanning to measure body fat in 86 babies -- they took these readings shortly after birth, and again when the babies were 8-12 weeks old.
