چکیده
The human embryo is provided with the predigested food of the mother by means of the fetal circulation. After birth provision has been made for another highly nutritious and readily available source of food to the infant through the mammary gland of the mother. Normal infants under the usual conditions survive this period fairly well. Most of the trouble from food comes after the infant has been removed from these highly protected and nutritious sources and must shift for himself.
