HIGHER GAIN OF FAT-FREE-MASS IN FORMULA- THAN IN BREAST-FED INFANTS BETWEEN 1|[ndash]|4 MONTHS OF AGE

Recently published data indicate that weight and length gain of exclusively breast-fed infants is lower than in formula fed-infants at least beyond 2 months of age. We studied the composition of weight gain (gain fat-free-mass + fat) in a homogeneous group of exclusively breast- or formula fed infants.
