It is pointed out in the passage that infant formulas given in a child's first year ----.
By six months of age, the infant's capacity to digest and
absorb a variety of dietary components as well as to
metabolize and excrete the resulting products is near the
capacity of the adult. Consideration of the long-term
effects of inadequate or excessive intakes during
infancy now assumes greater importance. These
considerations about delivery of adequate amounts of
nutrients are the basis for many of the feeding practices
advocated during the second six months of life.
Although it is clear that all nutrient needs during this
period can be met with reasonable amounts of currently
available infant formulas, addition of other foods after
four to six months of age is recommended. In contrast,
the volume of milk produced by many women may not
be adequate to meet all nutrient needs of the breast-fed
infant beyond about six months of age, especially iron.
Thus, for breast-fed infants, complementary foods are
an important source of nutrients. Complementary foods
(i.e., the additional foods, including formulas, given to
the breast-fed infant) or replacement foods (i.e., food
other than formula given to formula-fed infants) should
be introduced step by step to both breast-fed and
formula-fed infants, beginning between four and six
months of age.
