The author recommends to change the system of enteral nutrition of low-birth-weight infants. These infants should be fed according to recent findings as follows: 1. by their mother's partly fortified milk, 2. by fully fortified human milk of another woman, 3. by adapted milk suitable for the given age group. The author recommends to adhere to the valid system of infant nutrition. In bottle-fed infants with a allergological case-history or severe atopic eczema it is possible to use hypoallergic milk.

[The effect of natural and artificial nutrition on vitamin C and E levels in the normal infant]. / Vliv prirozené a umelé výzivy na hladiny vitamínu C a E u fyziologických kojencu.

During the spring months the vitamin C and E serum levels were assessed in 44 normal infants. In addition the serum levels of vitamins C and E were assessed in 17 breastfed infants and their mothers. Low vitamin C levels were recorded in five infants (12.2%). Of these four were bottlefed and one infant had a mixed; mostly formula diet. Two infants with a low vitamin C level had fruit juices and strained fruit. All breastfed infants were well saturated with vitamin C despite the reduced vitamin C level of one nursing mother. Low vitamin E levels were found in two infants (4.5%). Both infants were under six weeks and were bottlefed. After supplementation of the diet with nonmilky products the vitamin E levels rose in breastfed as well as bottlefed children. In breastfed infants older than six weeks the vitamin E levels were significantly higher (p less than 0.001), as compared with bottlefed infants. The results of the investigation confirmed that only breastfeeding or well adapted cows milk formula ensure an adequate vitamin C and E level in normal infants.

During the spring months serum levels of vitamin C and E were investigated in 49 women at the end of pregnancy and in their infants at the delivery and on the fifth day after birth. The authors found that 23.3% of the pregnant women (n = 43) who gave birth to mature, normal neonates were not adequately saturated with vitamin C during the spring months. Almost 13% of the infants (12.8%) had lower vitamin C levels on the fifth day after delivery. Two thirds of the mothers (67%) of premature infants (n = 6) had low vitamin C levels. The vitamin E levels in the pregnant women were adequate, 38% of the five-day-old infants had reduced vitamin E levels.
