Abstract:
Infant formulas are meant to be used until 1 year of age, at which point children are transitioned to non-infant formulas or cow\'s milk, depending on their remaining dietary intake. Noninfant formulas and cow\'s milk are appropriate for children who have an average weight at that 1-year mark (9-9.5 kg); however, can contribute significant protein and/or electrolytes to children who are underweight for age, particularly if they still rely heavily on formula feeding for their caloric intake. In this short communication, we present several cases of patients who received excessive amounts of nutrients for age following the formula transition at the 1-year mark. We also provide recommendations for clinicians to consider when faced with underweight infants who are meant to be transitioning off infant formulas.
摘要:
婴儿配方奶粉是指使用到1岁,在这一点上,儿童过渡到非婴儿配方奶粉或牛奶,取决于他们剩余的饮食摄入量。非婴儿配方奶粉和牛奶适合于平均体重为1岁(9-9.5公斤)的儿童;然而,可以为体重不足的儿童提供大量的蛋白质和/或电解质,特别是如果他们仍然严重依赖配方喂养来摄取热量。在这个简短的交流中,我们介绍了几例患者,这些患者在1岁时的配方转换后,接受了过量的营养.我们还提供建议,供临床医生在面对体重过轻的婴儿时考虑。
