Role of weaning in the nutritional status of infant--a longitudinal study in the rural area of Aligarh.
Influences of weaning practices on nutritional status were studied in a cohort of 200 infants over a period of one year in the rural area of Aligarh. Weaning was late in most of the infants under study. The nutritional status of infants up to 6 months was significantly better than that of infants more than 6 months of age. Most of them used the family-type food as weaning food.
