The main deficiencies in the diet of Bangladeshi infants and children are vitamin D, iron, and later, calories. Protein intake is a little low in some, but in general is satisfactory. Calcium and vitamin C intakes are adequate. The proportions of food are often inappropriate, mainly because of a high carbohydrate intake. Weaning tends to be late, with predominant milk drinking, even into the second year of life. Convenience baby foods, containing mainly carbohydrate are the major components of the diet until well into the second and third years of life, without the conversion to family food seen in white children. Vitamin D is given to fewer than half the children. It may be given to fewer still if the observation that bottles were often unopened is true for many families.
孟加拉国婴幼儿饮食的主要不足之处在于维生素D、铁，以及后期的热量。部分婴幼儿的蛋白质摄入量略低，但总体令人满意。钙和维生素C的摄入量充足。食物比例往往不合适，主要原因是碳水化合物摄入量过高。断奶时间往往较晚，主要以喝牛奶为主，甚至到两岁也是如此。直到两岁和三岁时，主要含碳水化合物的方便婴儿食品仍是饮食的主要组成部分，不像白人儿童那样过渡到家庭食物。不到半数的儿童补充维生素D。如果许多家庭奶瓶经常未开封这一观察结果属实，那么补充维生素D的儿童可能更少。
