Intakes of energy, protein and calcium and weaning pattern of a group of Dutch infants aged 6-12 months.
The intakes of energy, protein and calcium of 76 infants aged 6-12 months was investigated using a five day weighing record method. Average daily energy intake was 380 kJ/kg/day; the average daily intake of protein was 3.8 g/kg/day and the average calcium intake was 785 mg per day. Milk and milk products were the main source of these nutrients and supplied 41%, 59% and 83% respectively of the total daily intake of energy, protein and calcium. The weaning pattern was investigated retrospectively. At age of 6 months the infants were eating a variety of foods rich in protein and calcium.
