Many American Infants And Toddlers Not Getting Recommended Levels Of Nutrients
(NAPS)?Most parents do what
they feel is best for their children,
and feeding time is no different A
new consumer survey, however,
shows that 88 percent of parents
mistakenly believe their older
infants are getting all the nutrients
they need from cereal and tablefood.
Science says otherwise. f
According to a study published
in Pediatrics, intakes of several key
nutrients, such as zinc and Vitamin
E, start to fall below recommended
levels at about the time children
are introduced to table foods.
Offering more support to this
issue, a United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) survey
finds:
About 60 percent of one-yearolds
are not meeting the RDA for
iron, a key nutrient for mental
development.
Roughly four out of five oneyear-olds
are not receiving the
RDA for vitamin E, an important
antioxidant.
Eighty-seven percent of oneyear-olds
are not meeting the RDA
for zinc, a mineral important for
growth as well as to help support
the immune system.
"The normal behavioral declaration
of independence that happens
simultaneously with the
introduction of new foods can lead
to an imbalanced diet," said Donald
L. Shifrin, M.D., Clinical Professor
of Pediatrics at Washington
School of Medicine.
As babies get older and become
more independent, their likes and
dislikes begin to take shape, making
feeding time more difficult. At
an age when babies are reaching
for what's on Mom's plate and
picky eating reigns, older babies'
intakes of key nutrients, such as
iron, zinc and vitamin E. fall short
of what's recommended. Part of the
solution may come in the form of
infant formulas designed specifically
for older infants and toddlers,
some experts believe.
The Ross Products Division of
Abbott Laboratories has introduced
Similac 2 for older infants, ages 6
to 18 months and Isomil 2 for older
infants with milk sensitivities.
Similac 2 and Isomil 2 are specially
formulated to meet the evolving
nutritional needs of older infants
and toddlers as they move from
breast milk and/or infant formula
to table foods. The new formulas
contain important nutrients including
iron, zinc, vitamin E, and have
more calcium than Similac With
Iron' or Isomil Soy Infant Formula
With Iron".
"It's difficult for moms to know
exactly what nutrients their babies
may be missing. Formulas like
Similac 2 and Isomil 2 help parents
feel confident that they are keeping
up with their babies changing
nutritional requirements," said
Susan Finn, Ph.D., R.D., director of
nutrition and communications at
Ross Products Division.

We the family of Delora Jane Locklear would like to express our deepest and most sincere gratitude
during the loss of our (mother, wife and grandmother). Although it sounds so small compared to the
Love, Warmth, Affection and Kindness we were shown during the most difficult time of all our lives. As
we go through life and do kind deeds as our mother did from feeding or helping some needy family or
just a kind word, she was always thinking of other people. Her employees knew her as Mama Dee. We
wondered if people really appreciated all that she has done and all that she stood for. But through our
loss, we the family really did realize just how much our Delora Jane was thought of. We received so
many cards, food, encouraging words, kind gestures, and much prayer. Our lives will never be the same,
she was the center of all our lives (children, husband and employees) and she has left such a void that no
one can ever begin to fill. She never forgot her humble beginnings. She was such a beautiful woman, but
-never really knew it, but we knew. She Loved God and her Church, her husband, children, grandchildren,
Fuller's, pretty flowers, pretty clothes, and her home: Our Mama through her sickness had such
dignity and inspired others she never got caught in self-pity of why. This was a woman that at an early
age knew she wanted to be a mama and wife. She could change a tire, made all our clothes, drove the
water truck in witch weed, climb a tobacco bam and hang tobacco, cook anything, farmed, and worked
in a factory. She was always a faithful wife and mother,. She was always showing live and putting us
before herself. Although her time with us was brief, we are so blessed to have had a mother like we had.
Some people live a life time and never have anything close to the kind of Mama we had. Our ROSE has
gone on to be with Jesus and we continue to need your prayers that we, her family will strive to walk with
the Lord, so we can see her again one day.
A Special THANKS TO ALL HER FRIENDS, FAMILY EMPLOYEES, AND THE PASTORS- Mr.
Ron Locklear, Mr. Jimmy Hammonds, Mr. Julian Ransom, Mr. Kelly Sanderson, arid Preacher Coolidge
Cummings.
