The longitudinal changes on human milk intake of exclusively breast-fed infants(bdys=15, girls=12) from 0.5 to 6 months after parturition have been studied by test-weighing method in Cheongju ad Anseong area.
Infnat milk intake per day tended to increase during lactation. The mean intakes at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months were 532, 695, 734, 756, 785, 767, and 710g, respectively, The average intakes were 752 and 660g for boys and girls.
Respectively.
The
overall mean intake was 711g/day. The milk intake between boys between boys and girls at 1, 2, 4 months, and mean value was significantly different(p<0.05).
Infant milk intake had a significant positive correlation with human milk volume of lactating women, but no correlation with maternal age, weight before delivery, height, and birth weight. Women, but no correlation with maternal age, weight
