Abstract
1. Within the limits of this study, neither maternal iron deficiency nor Fe-overload as measured at term appeared to affect the complement of Fe received by the foetus.2. Infants feeding entirely on breast milk appeared to have normal Fe status 6 months postpartum regardless of the Fe status of the mother.3. No relationship could be demonstrated between the Fe content of breast milk and the Fe status of the mother.
