developing countries should be breast-fed are controversial. If the nutritional quality of the
breast milk is inadequate because the mothers are malnourished, then there is risk of inadequate
nutrition for the infant. On the other hand, the introduction of other foods carries the risk of
infection from contamination. Further complicating the situation is the fact that companies
that produce infant formulas and other foods benefit when these foods are consumed by large
numbers of customers. One question related to this controversy concerns the amount of energy
intake for infants who have other foods introduced into the diet at different ages. Part of one
study compared the energy intakes, measured in kilocalories per day (kcal/d), for infants who
were breast-fed exclusively for 4, 5, or 6 months. Here are the data:
