Abstract:
A study was conducted in 278 10-month-old infants, examined in 2 health care centres in Paris. The dietary history method was used to evaluate their food consumption: 54.5% were receiving usual cow's milk (semi-skimmed or whole milk), 44% adapted infant formulas, and 1.5% cow milk products only. There was no relationship between the quality of milk consumption of these infants and the socio-economic level or the nationality of their parents. Infants receiving usual cow milk had an iron intake lower than the recommended daily amounts while those who were fed with the adapted infant formulas had an adequate daily iron intake.
