American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 98(6):1373-1374. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: The establishment of micronutrient requirements for infants remains a challenge. For healthy full-term infants, breast milk is an appropriate standard for virtually all nutrients. In contrast, guidelines for infants who are not healthy, and infants who are born preterm, are much more tenuous. |
