The efficacy of using instant cereals in diets of infants in infant homes
The authors studied the dynamics of the indices of physical development and iron metabolism in infants of the first year of life who were brought up in an infant home. Deviations in the nutritive status of the infants in the form of hypotrophy grade I and II (55 and 10%, respectively), hypochromic anemia grade I and II (15 and 5%, respectively) were revealed. Taking into account these deviations in the nutritive status, the nutrition ration was corrected by using an instant cereal «Pomogayka». In the dynamic observation, the body mass deficiency has been compensated in the majority of cases. In using manufactured cereals, a positive dynamic of the nutritive status values is noted.
