Recommended nutrient intake (RNI) is the daily intake which meets the nutrient requirements of almost all (97.5%) apparently healthy individuals in an age- and sex-specic population. See Chapter 4 for details. See Chapter 12 for details. Breastfed. Neonatal iron stores are sufcient to meet the iron requirement for the rst 6 months in full-term infants. Premature infants and low birth weight infants require additional iron. Recommendation for the age group 04.9 years. Cow milk-fed. Formula-fed.

Bioavailability of dietary iron during this period varies greatly. Not applicable to infants exclusively breastfed. Particularly during the growth spurt. Pre-menarche. Not specied. It is recommended that iron supplements in tablet form be given to all pregnant women because of the difculties in correctly assessing iron status in pregnancy. In non-anaemic pregnant women, daily supplements of 100 mg of iron (e.g. as ferrous sulphate) given during the second half of pregnancy are adequate. In anaemic women higher doses are usually required.

Recommended nutrient intake (RNI) is the daily intake which meets the nutrient requirements of almost all (97.5%) apparently healthy individuals in an age- and sex-specic population. See Chapter 7 for details. NE = Niacin equivalents. DFE = Dietary folate equivalents; mg of DFE provided = [mg of food folate + (1.7 mg of synthetic folic acid)]. Vitamin A values are recommended safe intakes instead of RNIs. See Chapter 2 for further details. Recommended safe intakes as mg retinol equivalent (RE)/day; conversion factors are as follows: 1 mg retinol = 1 RE 1 mg b-carotene = 0.167 mg RE 1 mg other provitamin A carotenoids = 0.084 mg RE.

Data were not strong enough to formulate recommendations. The gures in the table therefore represent the best estimate of requirements. See Chapter 6 for details. Preformed niacin. See Chapter 5 for details. This intake cannot be met by infants who are exclusively breastfed. To prevent bleeding due to vitamin K deciency, all breast-fed infants should receive vitamin K supplementation at birth according to nationally approved guidelines. Not specied.
