“…Infants born to Vit B12 deficient mothers have stores to sustain at least four months but those on breast feed may get deficiency if mothers are vegetarian 2,13. Literature shows 3% children under four having Vit B12 insufficiency 14. A recent survey in Canada showed that one in twenty women suffer from Vit B12 deficiency and another study showed that less than 50% had desired levels.…”

Objective:To determine the correlation between serum folic acid, vitamin B12 and ferritin of mother and child and to study various neonatal risk factors as a cause of anemia in children.Methods:One hundred eighty children two months to two years of age admitted in the department of Pediatric Medicine of The Children’s Hospital and The Institute of Child Health Lahore from January 2013 to January 2015 with common medical conditions having anemia were included. Complete blood count (CBC), serum ferritin level, folic acid and Vitamin (Vit) B12 level were sent of children and their mothers. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.Results:Out of 180 children with anemia, 66.7% were males. Mean age of children was 7.3months. Fifty-five percent children were malnourished according to z scoring. The mean Hemoglobin (Hb) of children was 8 g/dl. Only 4% children had low ferritin level while 60% had low folic acid and 45% had decreased VitB12. There was significant correlation between Hb of mother and child (p =0.02), Vit B12 deficiency (p=0.008) and iron deficiency (p<0.001). Premature children had lower folic acid levels (p =0.02), while prematurity, IUGR, previous admission and history of sepsis showed no association with anemia in our study. Both breast-feeding and top feeding showed significant association with anemia with p-value of 0.042 and 0.003 respectively while dilution showed no impact on anemia.Conclusion:Maternal anemia has a significant impact on child’s hemoglobin. As compared to previous concept of increased iron deficiency in children we found increased occurrence of folic acid and VitB12 deficiency in children and their mothers.

“…Nos primeiros seis meses de vida, a prática do aleitamento materno deste estudo foi expressiva, o que constitui um fator protetor para a prevenção da anemia ferropriva (15) . Entres as crianças na faixa etária de 6 a 24 meses de idade houve baixa frequência de consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro e de alimentos facilitadores de sua absorção, considerado como fator de risco para a deficiên-cia desse micronutriente no organismo (2) .…”

Objetivo: avaliar o consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro e vitamina C entre crianças de 0 a 24 meses. Métodos: trata-se de estudo transversal realizado com 357 crianças durante campanha de vacinação em novembro de 2014 em Montes Claros, MG. O consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro e vitamina C foi avaliado com questionário de frequência alimentar. Realizou-se análise descritiva simples. Resultados: a amamentação foi verificada em 140 (93%) crianças menores de seis meses. Na alimentação complementar entre os alimentos fontes de ferro, o consumo de carne cozida/moída foi frequente em 80 (38,2%) e de vísceras foi baixo ou ausente em 147 (70,6%). Todas as crianças consumiam feijão moderadamente ou frequentemente. O consumo frequente de laranja foi relatado em 74 (35,5%). Conclusão: o consumo de alimentos fontes de ferro e vitamina C das crianças na Atenção Primária à Saúde é de baixa frequência, apresentando risco para anemia ferropriva.

Background The perinatal period is associated with a high risk of infant anemia. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of infant and maternal anemia during the late lactation period and the risk factors for anemia in Japan. Methods This retrospective cohort study was based on data from health checkups of healthy infants at 6–7 and 9–10 months of age and their mothers who visited Akitsu Children's Clinic between September 2013 and August 2015. Complete blood count data from infant blood samples obtained at 6–7 months and 9–10 months and from maternal blood samples obtained at 6–7 months, information on feeding methods, and other related parameters were analyzed. Results Data from 388 mother–infant pairs were analyzed. The prevalence of infant anemia was 21.1% at 6–7 months and 29.1% at 9–10 months. The prevalence of anemia in exclusively breast‐fed infants was 28.4% at 6–7 months and 40.0% at 9–10 months. The risk factors for infant anemia at 9–10 months were exclusive breast‐feeding, lower gestational age at birth, male sex, and high weight gain. The prevalence of maternal anemia was 10.5%. There was no correlation between infant and maternal hemoglobin in exclusively breast‐fed infants. Conclusions Japanese infants who were breast‐fed exclusively had a high prevalence of anemia. A nationwide strategy to prevent anemia is required to prevent infant anemia, even in a nutrition‐rich country such as Japan.
