Screening and prevention of nutritional anemia during infancy
1978
Extract: No important differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit values occurred among subgroups of a cohort of 295 healthy, mature infants who were fed various dietary regimens of iron-fortified products, including cereal, whole milk, and corn syrup. Because of the low incidence of nutritional anemia after age 4 months, initial screening should be done at 1 to 4 months of age, and selectively thereafter. A formula of evaporated milk and corn syrup plus iron-fortified cereal during early months, and then whole milk and a more diversified diet including continued use of iron-fortified cereal during later months of infancy, provides a nutritionally sound and economical diet with sufficient iron.
