... The committee used the estimates of total potassium and sodium intake and subtracted the estimated contributions from breast milk, infant formula, and other milks to estimate the contributions from com plementary foods. 3  The brief summaries included herein only describe the portion of the analyses applicable to the committee's estimation of potassium and sodium intake from complementary foods for infants 7–12 months of age.
