Standard infant formulas are suitable for older infants. Even when consuming complementary foods (beikost), formulas meet nutrient needs for the latter half of the first year.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nutrition
  • Infant Development
  • Dietary Studies

Background:

  • Infant formulas are designed for young infants.
  • Older infants consume both formula and complementary foods (beikost).
  • Nutrient needs change as infants grow and diversify their diet.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the suitability of standard infant formulas for older infants.
  • To evaluate nutrient intake when formula is combined with beikost.
  • To determine if current formulas meet the needs of infants in the second half of the first year.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled nutrient intake for 6- and 10-month-old hypothetical infants.
  • Calculated energy intake from standard formula and beikost.
  • Compared calculated nutrient intakes with national survey data for similar-aged infants.

Main Results:

  • Infants aged 6 months received 80% energy from formula and 20% from beikost.
  • Infants aged 10 months received 50% energy from formula and 50% from beikost.
  • Beikost was found to be moderate in protein and low in fat.

Conclusions:

  • Standard infant formulas are appropriate for infants in the latter half of the first year.
  • Formulas adequately meet nutrient requirements when complemented by beikost.
  • Current infant formulas support infant nutrition beyond early infancy.
