Özet:

The study was conducted on 736 children of the 0 - 1 age group registered in the health stores in the Etlik, Demetevler, Abidinpaşa districts of Ankara and the Çubuk district. In the first phase of the study, 77.7% of children have a weight and 88.0% have a length in the standard values. The rate of nutrition with breast milk alone is 35.4%, and this value increases to 74.1%, along with those who feed the breast milk. 73.7 percent of children receive single-mother milk for a short period of time (0 to 3 months) and 20.2 percent for an ideal period (4 to 6 months). The rate of nutrition with the commercial mother is 4.5%. In the second phase of the study, a total of 63 children were selected, including 21 of the children's groups who applied different dietary forms, and the effects of these dietary forms (mother's milk, breast milk + supplementary food, commercial mother) on children's weight and size length were monitored for 3 months. At the end of the three months, the weight and length of all the children who are nurtured with single breast milk and breast milk + supplementary nutrition were found in standard and above values. The length of the children who are fed with commercial mother is also standard, with a weight of 4.8 percent and less than 80 percent of the standard.
