Abstract
Data for ten anthropometric variables has been collected on a cross sectional sample of 54 male infants varying in age from 3 to 15 months. Of these, 29 infants were completely dependent on breast milk and 25 were those who took only bottle milk. All the anthropometric parameters studied indicated that breastfed infants were better in physical growth upto 7 months of age as compared to the bottle-fed infants of the same age group. After that bottlefed infants show better physical growth than breast-fed infants. It is recommended that in breast-fed children weaning should not be delayed beyond 7th mouth.
