Abstract

20 normal full term newborns have been fed with 15% concentration of Maeil Drymilk G for 7 days at the department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Hospital. Feeding results was obtained as follows. 1. General condition was good. They lost approximately 2% of their birth weight during the 1st day and were beginning to regain birth weight on the 4th days of age. (Fig.2) Feeding amounts were increased day by day and were sufficient. (Fig.3) 2. During the first week, they usually passed 2.8~5.5 stools per day. (Fig.4) Yellow stlools were appeared at the 5th days of his age. 95% of stools was the normal consistency and 5% was loose stool. 3. Calories and protein requirements were sufficient, but mean values of water requirement between 2nd and 6th days of age was 1.39ml/cal and it was slightly less than Recommended Dietary Allowance. (Fig.5) 4. Urine concentrations between 78 and 350mOsm/L have been observed. Mean value was 167mOsm/L. (Fig.6) 5. Stool pH between 4.9 and 6.85 have been observed. Mean value was 6.85. (Fig. 6) 6. Total protein, A/G ratio, blood glucose, BUN, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, WBC and platelet count have been observed within normal range (Fig.6) 7. Mean values of electrolytes were as follows; Na: 142mEq/L, K:5.4mEq/L, Cl:108mEq/L, Ca:9.0mg/dl, P:7.6mg/dl. Na and K closely approximates lowest level of normal range, and P closely approxim-ates highest level of normal range (Fig. 6).
