Normal limits of periumbilical skin were determined in 304 newborn babies in the first 24 h. Cranial umbilical skin (SD) was 12.36 (3.23) mm and caudal umbilical skin (SD) was 8.76 (3.10) mm on the average. It is recommended that cranial umbilical skin measurement should be included in the examination of dysmorphic neonates, and those with cranial skin length above 18.82 mm (> 2 SD) should be carefully evaluated for Rieger syndrome.

Risk factors for lactational failure in puerperium were investigated. Sixty mothers with inadequate daily milk supply for their babies were the lactational failure group, and 60 mothers with similar age having babies with similar age and weight were chosen as the control group. Low prolactin levels, low serum iron and low serum ferritin levels and low aldosterone values and birth in community hospitals were associated with significantly increased risk of deficient lactation. High income of the family, increase osmolality of breastmilk, high systolic blood pressure of the mother, birth by cesarean section were some of the variables that increased the risk that could not reach the level of significance. Prematurity of the baby was not among the risk factors if the gestational ages were more than 30 weeks. It is concluded that physicians awareness of the factors that may adversely effect the initiation and continuation of lactation is vital. Correcting iron deficiency even if it is not overt, sparing more time for the mothers discussing the benefits of breastmilk to their babies, and avoiding cesarean section if possible may help increase the incidence of breastmilk feeding.

Serum chromium levels of hypoglycemic preterm and full-term babies were investigated. Normoglycemic preterm and full-term babies were selected as the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in serum Cr levels between preterm and full-term, hypoglycemic and normoglycemic, preterm hypoglycemic and preterm normoglycemic, full-term hypoglycemic and full-term normoglycemic babies. Serum Cr levels of intrauterine-growth-retarded babies were relatively low compared to infants appropriate for gestational age. Serum Cr levels of babies with mothers younger than 35 years of age had significantly lower levels than older mothers' babies.
