Best Time to Begin Complementary Feeding of Full-Term Exclusively Breastfed Infants: Results of an Observational Study by Olga L. Lukoyanova, Tatyana E. Borovik, Vera A. Skvortsova, Leyla S. Namazova-Baranova, Natalya G. Zvonkova, Tatyana N. Stepanova, Elena A. Kopyltsova, Elena L. Semikina, Irina M. Guseva

“…Background: The article discusses a controversial issue of time for the introduction of complementary feeding for exclusively breastfed infants.Objective: Our aim was to determine the best time to begin complementary feeding of exclusively breastfed infants. Methods: Cohort observational study. We assessed actual nutrition and chemical composition of diets of infants, nalyzed anthropometric indicators, as well as clinical and biochemical parameters of blood.Results: The study included 203 infants. 112 of these infants were breastfed up to six months of age (exclusive breastfeeding or mixed feeding with the amount of breast milk of not less than 150–200 ml) and 91 infants were bottle-fed with adapted milk formulas. …”
