Abstract
Zinc deficiency during nursing can occur even in breast-fed infants. Zinc reserves accumulated during fetal development modulate the infant's susceptibility to zinc deficiency. Improvement of maternal zinc nutrition during pregnancy is the key for infant's zinc nutritional support and prevention of low-for-lactation-age zinc concentrations of breast-milk.Entities:
