1 DRI (AI) - includes intake from formula/breast milk and CF [5,7]
2 For Ca, P, and Mg, explicitly stated by Institute of Medicine as part of total DRI (from both CF and breast milk/formula) [5]; For all other nutrients, calculated by subtracting amount consumed from breast milk (based on concentration in milk [11] and average volume consumed per day [5]) from the total DRI
