“…As gastric capacity increases, most infants progress from feeding approximately 180 mL/kg per day in two-to three-hour intervals to less frequent, higher volume and density feedings by the end of the first year . 43 Despite increased gastric capacity, however, infants in developing countries often cannot consume enough of the traditional low-fat, cerealbased weaning food to meet their energy requirement. Because of their thick consistency even at high water content, these foods are bulky and of low energy density.…”

Current weaning recommendations are based on nutritional need, physiologic maturation, and the behavioral and developmental aspects of infant feeding. Inadequate energy and protein intake and deficiencies of iron, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin D are the most commonly observed nutrient deficiencies during infancy and weaning recommendations have focused on their prevention. This article reviews the data and summarizes implications for infant weaning in both developed and developing countries. Current published recommendations for infant feeding are outlined and major concerns are highlighted.

“…' Between the world wars the first signs of the emancipation of medical writers from the strict regime of the past began to be apparent in the papers of Weinfeld and Floore (1930), Clara Davis (1935) and Gesell and Ilg (1937). Later the work of Aldrich and Hewitt (1947) did much to popularize the selfdemand or self-regulatory method. When this regime becomes universally adopted, as it surely will, so the last chapter on the history of infant feeding will be concluded.…”

“…Many warning statements are to be found, but few supporting facts. In contrast, there is ample published work on self-regulatory feeding (Weinfeld and Floore, 1930;Davis, 1935;GeseIl and Ilg, 1937;Aldrich and Hewitt, 1947) demonstrating the safety of this method. Indeed, 20% of Aldrich and Hewitt's series demanded only four feeds daily when orthodox methods would have provided five.…”

OESOPHAGEAL SPEECH MEDIBCLTJSHRNAL activity of the oesophageal smooth muscle. We believe that the whole knack lies in the control of the cricopharyngeal sphincter, and that the oesophagus behaves as a passive tube.It is surprising to find that a patient with no glottis can raise his intrathoracic pressure in the way shown. Such patients can, however, achieve positive pressures of 30 to 50 mm. Hg during sustained expiratory strain and considerably more during coughing. It appears that the effective resistance of the bronchioles to a suddenly applied expiratory pressure can be very high, so that in a sense air is trapped in the alveoli. Anyone who has witnessed a bronchoscopy will recall that the veins of the head and neck congest during coughing and straining even with the bronchoscope in place.In acquiring a voice after laryngectomy the patient has to gain control of the cricopharyngeal sphincter so that he can first relax the sphincter and allow air to enter the oesophagus during inspiration, and, secondly, control the degree of contraction during speech so that there is maximum economy in the use of the air in the oesophagus and the loss of air from the lungs. To acquire a good oesophageal voice therefore comprises two stages: (1) finding the voice, and (2) learning to use the new technique economically so that many syllables can be uttered without taking a fresh breath. Finding the voice usually takes a month or two, and the skill in the use of this voice increases over several years. SummryMeasurements of oesophageal pressure and chest movements during oesophageal speech have been made, and the oesophageal movements observed by fluoroscopy.The mechanism is discussed. Air enters the oesophagus down to the diaphragm. It is expelled by expiratory effort, the airway resistance allowing the intrathoracic pressure to rise above the atmospheric pressure despite the presence of a tracheostomy.We are grateful to Drs.
