Abstract:
Although breast feeding has long been proved to be the best way tor infant feeding, for many reasons, however, the number of breast-fed infants were always fewer than those of artiticially or mixed fed ones either in urban or in rural, e.g. it was found that only 35.7% of infants aged 4 months in Shanghai were breast-fed in 1980. Therefore manufacturing some kinds of humanized milk for improving infant nutrition seems necessary.A humanized milk powder was manufactured in Hongyuan Powdered Milk Factory. For testing its suitability for infant nutrition, a feeding experiment in infants was conducted in our laboratory in spring 1982.75 healthy babies aged 1-5 months were equally randomly assigned into three groups, i. e. humanized milk group, breast feeding group, and cow's milk group. The other food supplements except the milks were same in all groups.All the babies were subjected to anthropometric examination and blood hemoglobin determination before and after the 3 months' experimental period.Experimental results showed that there was no significant difference between the three groups either in growth and development or in blood hemoglobin level.In addition, Hongyuan humanized milk powder was also found to be more digestible and acceptable for the majority of the tested infants.
