Artificial feeding of Black infants.
Analysis of milk formula feeds in a community where infant malnutrition is common, showed that overdilution of feeds is less frequent than expected. Many feeds were too concentrated. Modified and 'humanised' milks were more often and more seriously too strong than unmodified milks. An inadequate number and volume of milk feeds per day was probably more important in causing malnutrition than the strength of the feeds.
