A method for the measurement of milk intake in young breast-fed babies is described in which heavy water (2H2O) enrichment in saliva is measured on only two occasions after a single oral dose of 2H2O. Values obtained by this method are compared with those obtained by test-weighing. This new method is ideal for routine surveys since it does not interfere with feeding habits and maternal life style, and no technical expertise is required of the mother.
本文描述了一种测量母乳喂养婴儿奶量摄入的方法，该方法通过单次口服重水（2H₂O）后仅两次测量唾液中的重水（2H₂O）富集情况来进行。将通过此方法获得的值与通过试重法获得的值进行比较。这种新方法非常适合常规调查，因为它不会干扰喂养习惯和母亲的生活方式，并且母亲无需专业技术知识。
