Iron nutrition in the breast fed infant
1977
Woodruff, C.W. | Latham, C. | McDavid, S.
Extract: Breast fed infants were compared with infants fed a prepared formula not fortified with iron during the first nine months of life. Despite efforts to provide equal iron intakes from cereal and other foods, the breast fed infants ate less iron containing foods than the formula fed infants. The incidence of mild anemia and biochemical iron deficiency was the same in both groups. The breast fed infants had a significantly lower total iron binding capacity. Breast fed infants appear to utilize iron more effectively than formula fed infants.
