Abstract
Observations on newborn infants, including 16 cases of neonatal tetany, indicate that cow''s milk formulae commonly used in this country will limit parathyroid and renal function and predispose to tetany. A suitable formula for the neonatal period appears to be cow''s milk 1 part, water 2 parts, 10% carbohydrate and Ca-gluconate.Keywords
