Doctors followed 170 newborns for one week after birth and found that compared to placebo, infants born to mothers in the MVM group weighed an average of 3.5 ounces more, were nearly one-third inch longer and measured nearly one-tenth of an inch larger around the mid-arm. Researchers recorded low birth weight (LBW) in 16.2% of the MVM group versus 43.1% for placebo and recorded disease in 14.8% of MVM babies versus 28% for placebo.
The benefits of MVMs may be understated in the study because all women, including those in the placebo group, took iron and folic acid. Doctors concluded that MVMs may reduce the number of LBW babies and significantly reduce illness in the first week of life.
