Overview

Observational study tracks growth trajectories of infants with and without formula supplementation, suggesting differing outcomes.

Key Points

  • Prolonged exclusive breastfeeding was linked to lower body weight in male infants at ages 13-18 months.
  • Male infants averaged 10.20 kg without formula, while those with formula averaged 10.97 kg, with significant differences (<0.001).
  • Data from 252 toddlers tracked growth every three months from 12 months to five years of age.
  • Weight differences between breastfed and formula-fed infants normalized by 18 months, indicating varying impacts on growth.
