The growth of a group of low income infants of Isfahan were studied. The data for weight and height were compared with the Boston standards, and the arm circumference was compared with the Wolanski's standard. All three measurements, and especially arm-circumference, were lower than the standards. About 96% of the mothers breast-fed their babies at birth, and from these 65% and 41% continued it after three and six months respectively.
