title: [On baby formular (author's transl)].
abstract: 1. During the first months of life adapted or partially adapted formula may very well be used to feed the newborn and the young infant if breastmilk is not available. By feeding adapted milk ad libitum, overweight is avoided. This is partially due to the carbohydrate, which exclusively consists of lactose. 2. Many infants are fed "Beikost", or solid food, much too early. The best possible age is during the fourth month of life. The first solid food to be introduced into the diet of an infant should consist of meat and added vegetable. 3. Too much intake of salt and or sucrose should be avoided. 4. Between the fourth to sixth month of life one bottle per day of adapted formula should be exchanged for a "follow-up" formula instead. As follow-up formulas we prefer those without or only with a small content of sucrose.
