Thirty-four toddlers were studied in a prospective, convenience sample comparison at their 18-month health supervision visit to examine the effect of prolonged (i.e., to 18 months of age) bottle feeding on both the daily volume of cow's milk intake and the toddler's iron stores (serum ferritin concentrations.) Seventeen toddlers had been weaned from the bottle by approximately 1 year of age, and 17 toddlers who remained on the bottle at 18 months of age were the compared group. The toddlers who remained on the bottle had significantly greater (PKeywords
