Serum vitamin B-12 and urinary methylmalonic acid (MMA) concentrations were determined in 62 healthy infants aged 1-6 mo. Urinary MMA was inversely correlated with serum vitamin B-12 concentrations (r = -0.550, p less than 0.001); serum vitamin B-12 was higher (p less than 0.001) and urinary MMA concentrations were lower (p less than 0.001) in formula-fed infants than in infants fed human milk (from the breast). Human-milk-fed infants who had received supplemental formula had higher serum vitamin B-12 concentrations than did infants exclusively fed human milk. It is not clear whether the serum vitamin B-12 and urinary MMA concentrations in infants fed human milk reflect biochemical deficiency of vitamin B-12, and the clinical significance of these findings needs to be investigated.
