Summary
Four groups of neonates were examined: two groups included babies in which breast feeding began 24 hours after birth; the other two, 1–3 hours after birth. A comparative study was made of the changes occuring in the content of nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) in the blood of neonates in relation to the time of the first breast feeding. With a late beginning of breast feeding the content of NEFA exhibited a marked rise 12 hours after birth, increasing by 217% as compared to the initial level. With an early start of feeding this high progressive rise of the NEFA concentration is absent.
