The article contains the analysis of optimal patterns of supplemental feeding in infants from the point of view of the concept of the First 1000 days and the possibility of fat metabolism disorders prevention. The correlation between the early supplemental feeding (before 4 months of age) with the risk of obesity is noted mainly in socially deprived families with premature termination of breastfeeding. If supplemental feeding was sustained until 5–6 months of age as well as breastfeeding, the risk of metabolic disorder development was minimal. The time and procedure for implementation of supplemental feeding according to the formula «nutrition under the control of the child» is discussed. Specific attention was paid to the excess sugar content in nutritional support for infants as the factor associated with the development of obesity in children and adolescents.
