TORRE, Pilar. Clinical deficiencies in infant feeding. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.5, pp.463-466.  Epub 27-Maio-2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000074.

The way in which two clinical procedures related to infant feeding are carried out in medical consultations for children younger than six months in a health center in Mexico City is analyzed. The first one refers to infants’ anthropometric measurement, and the second, to feeding modalities’ identification. Corrective actions are required based on the quality of children’s health care in the public sector.
