Nutrition: Foundations for Life

It is important to note that:

• The recommended amounts of any given nutrient vary with age

• The recommended amounts of some nutrients are based upon expert estimate (AI) but lack definitive data

• No recommendations are available for some nutrients for small infants

• The needs of premature infants are not included in these recommendations, and in fact, vary considerably from those of term infants (Klein)
