Dear Lactnet Friends:

I wonder what the impact is when babies are getting too many minerals every
day.....

 Abstract

Artificial feeding of infants is applied in situations when breastfeeding
is impossible for various reasons. Such feeding is based on modified cow's
milk made similar in composition to human milk. The aim of this study was
to examine the content of Mg, Ca, K and Na in infant and follow-on
formulae. The
study also evaluated how the formulae satisfy the demand for these minerals
in children of different age groups.


The study has revealed that an excess supply of the minerals occurred in
infant formulae (from 0 to 6 months) comparing to the recommended values
(AI, EAR, RDA).

warmly,
