  abstract = {{T}o determine the effect of maternal anaemia on pregnancy outcome and describe its impact on infant haemoglobin level in the first 18 months of life, we conducted a prospective study of 617 pregnant women and their children in {B}enin. {P}revalence of maternal anaemia at delivery was 39.5%, and 61.1% of newborns were anaemic at birth. {M}aternal anaemia was not associated with low birth weight [{OR} = 1.2 (0.62.2)] or preterm birth [{OR} = 1.3 (0.72.4)], whereas the newborns anaemia was related to maternal anaemia [{OR} = 1.8 (1.22.5)]. {T}here was no association between an infants haemoglobin level until 18 months and maternal anaemia. {H}owever, malaria attacks during follow-up, male gender and sickle cell trait were all associated with a lower infant haemoglobin level until 18 months, whereas good infant feeding practices and a polygamous family were positively associated with a higher haemoglobin level during the first 18 months of life.},
