Home fortification of complementary foods with micronutrient supplements is well accepted and has positive effects on infant iron
TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy and acceptability of Sprinkles (SP), crushable Nutritabs (NT), and fat-based Nutributter (NB; 108 kcal/d), which provide 6, 16, and 19 vitamins andminerals, respectively, when used for homefortification of complementary foods, were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of single daytime samples of human milk to estimate the 24-h concentration of lipids in urban Guatemalan mothers.
TL;DR: None of the regression equations to predict the 24-h lipid content of breast milk based on daytime samples reached a sufficiently high predictive power to be recommended for the estimation of individual child intake, so standardization of time of day and interval between feeds is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of varied energy density of complementary foods on breast-milk intakes and total energy consumption by healthy, breastfed Bangladeshi children
TL;DR: New information on the effects of newly introduced diets on daily intakes of these diets and of breast milk can be used to design future studies.
Developing and validating simple indicators of complementary food intake and nutrient density for breastfed children in developing countries.
TL;DR: Four data sets available at the University of California at Davis were used to validate indicators related to two aspects of complementary feeding: the nutrient density of complementary foods and the complementary food intake of breastfed infants 6-12 months of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of fermentation and/or vacuum flask storage on the presence of coliforms in complementary foods prepared for Ghanaian children.
TL;DR: Results indicate that contamination is reduced by fermentation, and further reduced by vacuum flask storage of fermented foods, and for non-fermented foods, vacuum flask-storage was protective only when the temperature was maintained at >50 degrees C; at < or = 50 degrees C vacuum Flask storage increased the risk of contamination.
