infants who were fed with
cow’s milk (30/64 46.9%).
p= 0.449.
The comparison of body
iron indicators in
accordance to positive or
negative occult fecal
blood, did not show any
significant difference in
the breastfed group. Serum
ferritin was significantly
lower (p=0.004) in infants
who received cow’s milk
and were positive for
occult fecal blood.
Effect on risk
A portion of Australian infants
had a weaning diet low in Fe
indicating the need to further
emphasis delaying cow’s milk
until 12 months of age.
Results showed no
prospective association
between introduction of
cow’s milk and the
development of islet
autoimmunity in high risk
children.
The data does not indicate
an association between
early exposure to cow’s
milk and later
development of IDDM.
