Abstract: | A longitudinal study during the first year of life was conducted in Pakistani infants, to investigate the effect of feeding regimes on body weight. On an average, breast-fed infants showed better weight gain in the first six months. In the last six months of their first year, however, bottle-fed infants grew better. Breast-fed infants doubled their birth weight earlier than bottle- or combined-fed infants. |
