title: [Evaluation of nutritional status using blood parameters in bottle-fed infants after the introduction of a new system of feeding].
abstract: The author presents the results of several years' efforts of paediatricians to prolong breastfeeding. He compares a group of 1970 mothers in 1974 with a group of 1550 mothers in 1986-1987. After introduction of the innovated infant feeding system (1968) they collected blood samples from 703 normal artificially fed infants aged 3-12 months fed during the second trimester dried undiluted "Sunar" milk, enriched with 4 mg Fe/100 g. In addition to the basic group they had a comparable group of infants fed during the 4th-6th month Sunar in 2/3 dilution. In the investigated groups they examined the haemoglobin (Hb) level, the number of erythrocytes (Er), haematocrit (Ht) serum iron (SFe) and total binding capacity (CVK). By calculation they assessed the mean haemoglobin concentration of red blood cells (SFK), the mean haemoglobin level (HbEr), the mean red cell volume (SOEr) and the iron saturation of transferrin (ST). In the basic group, as compared with 1982-83, the frequency of sideropenic anaemia of artificially fed infants declined. At the age of 4-6 months the authors found 15% anaemic infants, as compared with 29% in the group fed 2/3 Sunar. According to the author the incidence of sideropenic anaemia in the basic group declined during the second trimester due to the higher iron intake.
