“…Many infants in the United States receive cow' s milk by 5 to 7 months of age (2). The appropriate age at which cow's milk can be safely introduced into the infant diet is unknown; also largely unknown are the physiological consequences of feeding cow's milk to older infants .…”

SummaryNutrition of older infants, though important for optimal brain development, is inadequately studied. The beverage choice markedly influences nutrient intake, but little is known regarding nutrition status of older infants, particularly for vitamin E. This study assessed vitamin E intakes and plasma tocopherol concentrations in two groups of healthy infants, 8 to 13 months of age, who had consumed either cow's milk (n = 45) or milk‐based formula (n = 55) for a minimum of the 3 preceding months. Mean (±SEM) vitamin E intake was significantly lower (p ± 0.001) by the infants who had consumed cow's milk (CMF) than by infants who had consumed formula (FF); 4.1 ± 0.25 mg/day and 10.9 ± 0.57 mg/day, respectively. Mean (±SEM) intake of linoleic plus linolenic acids was significantly lower (p ± 0.005) by CMF infants (3.4 ± 0.2 g) than by FF infants (9.9 ± 1.0 g), although mean (±SEM) dietary vitamin E to polyunsaturated fat ratio (E/PUFA ratio) was the same in both FF and CMF infants (1.3 ± 0.1). Plasma a‐tocopherol concentration (mean ± SD) was significantly lower (p ± 0.005) in CMF than in FF infants (0.86 ± 0.28 mg/dl vs. 1.14 ± 0.42 mg/dl, respectively). Dietary vitamin E intakes were positively correlated (p ± 0.05) with plasma a‐tocopherol concentrations. No correlations were found between plasma a‐tocopherol concentrations and total fat intake, dietary E/PUFA ratios, erythrocyte polyunsaturated fatty acids s≥C18:2, or number of hours postprandial that blood was drawn. The difference in the mean plasma a‐tocopherol concentration (0.28 mg/dl) between CMF and FF infants may be of importance to infants who have a high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Insufficient milk supply syndrome is a complex phenomenon that has not been adequately investigated. Insufficient milk supply (IMS) is a major reason reported by mothers for early termination of breast-feeding in both developed and developing countries. Using the IMS conceptual framework by Hill and Humenick (1989), a survey was conducted to determine which set of predictors distinguished between mothers who reported an inadequate supply of breast milk (n = 100) from those who reported an adequate supply of milk (n = 284) during the first 8 weeks postpartum. Factor analysis suggested that Potential Determinant factors Maternal Confidence, Paternal Support, Maternal Health, Mother-in-Law Disapproval, and Infant Birthweight accounted for 56.7% of the variance while Potential Indicator factors Baby Behavior, Solid Foods, and Formula accounted for 70.4% of the variance. Using discriminant analysis, factors Maternal Confidence, Maternal Health, Mother-in-Law Disapproval, Baby Behavior, Solid Foods, and Formula predicted 78.04% of the cases accurately. The Potential Indicator factors alone predicted 76.58% of the cases accurately. These findings suggest that the IMS model is valid but additional variables may need to be considered.

Insufficient milk supply among black and white breast‐feeding mothers

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ethnicity is associated with insufficient milk supply (IMS) among breast-feeding mothers. A major reason reported by mothers for early termination or introduction of formula and/or solids is insufficient milk. A retrospective survey was conducted among 42 black and 148 white breast-feeding mothers participating in the WIC program in a midwestern state. The results suggested that: (1) the incidence of IMS was similar for black and white mothers; (2) controlling for education, black mothers initiated breast-feeding later and stopped sooner; IMS mothers fed less frequently and for shorter periods; and (3) controlling for education, there were no ethnic differences in the determinants or indicators of IMS.
