Show HELPFUL HINTS F ABOUT INFANTS 1 1 1 Q. I'm confused about what to feed mv expected infant. What do doctors recommend? A. Most physicians have found that human milk or an iron-fortified infant formula is best to feed a newborn baby through the first year. These are specially designed to help infants grow properly, unlike cow's milk, which is intended for calves. During a baby's first vear, many of the vital organs are increasing in size. To support' this growth, a baby needs adequate amounts of protein-and protein-and iron. A quality formula such as Enfamil with Iron not only has the right amount of protein pro-tein but is heat treated so that the protein is more easily digested and more readily available for the growth needs of the baby. Babies need the supplementary supple-mentary iron for good red blood that supplies oxvgen to all parts of the body. |
