• During one year 200 healthy, full-term infants were followed up prospectively for frequency of infection. Infants were categorized by mode of feeding—breast, breast-and-bottle, or bottle—and were subcategorized by location of care and by number of siblings in the home. The average number of infections in infants fed in a day-care or sitter location was 35% greater than that in infants fed at home. The mode of feeding had no bearing on the frequency of infection.(AJDC 1985;139:809-811) |
