[Comparison of human milk with 3 different types of infant food in the nutrition of full-term neonates].
Healthy, term infants who were either breast-fed, or received conventional formula (Mildibé, EGIS; Pre-Aptamil, Milupa), or a formula containing hydrolyzed proteins (Aptamil H. A., Milupa) were investigated. Each group consisted of 10 infants who were fed ad libitum. Somatic development (gain in weight, length and head- and chest circumferences), serum Ca and P levels, alkaline phosphatase activities and basic biochemical parameters of protein metabolism (serum total protein, albumin, uric acid, creatinine and urea nitrogen levels) were determined at the ages of 2, 4 and 8 weeks. Anthropometric measurements did not reveal considerable differences between the groups investigated. At the age of four weeks, serum calcium levels were significantly higher in the breast-fed infants than in those receiving formula. Both at the ages of four and eight weeks, serum total protein levels were significantly lower in the infants receiving the formula consisting of hydrolyzed proteins than in the breast-fed controls. No difference of considerable extent was seen in the other biochemical parameters measured. The results obtained indicate that, in the lack of the possibility of breast-feeding, all the three formulae investigated can be used as substitute of breast milk.
