¹ DRI (AI) - includes intake from formula/breast milk and CF [5, 7]
² For vit D, explicitly stated by Institute of Medicine as part of DRI [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 DRI
