The basis for the superior absorption of iron from breast milk compared with infant formulas is unclear. The hormone hepcidin downregulates dietary iron absorption.

We hypothesized that serum hepcidin levels are suppressed relative to iron status in infants fed breast milk compared with formula. Subjects were healthy infants presenting for routine 2-month clinic visit and strictly fed either breast milk or standard infant formula. Urin
