title: Daily intake of selenium by bottle-fed infants in Belgium.
abstract: The selenium content of commercial infant formulae, processed milk and beikost was measured by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry after previous wet acid digestion. The median daily intake by infants (1-6 months) fed milk, soya or cereal-based infant formulae was 3.0-7.8 micrograms/day; lower than the mean daily intake by Belgian breast-fed infants (6.1-8.6 micrograms/day) and cow's milk bottle-fed infants (7.6-10.8 micrograms/day).
