Abstract
The effect of temperature on gastric emptying after milk feeds was studied in 31 newborn infants. Test meals were a commercially prepared modified cows' milk (a) at body temperature and (b) at room temperature. Our results suggest that temperature has no effect on gastric emptying.Keywords
