...Cristina Campoy; Daniel Campos; Tomás Cerdó; Estefanía Diéguez; José Antonio García-Santos While a wide knowledge exists on the effects of breast milk or infant formula on growth and infant development, less attention has been paid to the importance of complementary feeding (CF). This review...

.... It is proposed that this selective evidence base may not fully represent the biological importance of DHA and ARA during early and later life and the aim of this paper is to consider a more inclusive and pragmatic approach to evidence assessment of DHA and ARA requirements in infants and young children, which...

... deficiency Cognitive development Children Infants Pregnancy Anemia Motor development Evidence • Improvement in cognitive development in children is a key rationale for universal iron interventions in pregnancy and in children. • Data supporting effects of universal iron interventions given...

...Carla Cerami Iron is a key nutrient and is essential for the developing fetus, neonate, infant, and child. Iron requirements are high during early stages of life because it is critically important for the production of new red blood cells and muscle cells as well as brain development. Neonates...

... can modify calciuria. We aim to investigate urinary calcium excretion in healthy infants according to their protein. Methods: Secondary data analysis from a randomized clinical trial where healthy term infants were randomized after birth to a higher (HP) or lower (LP) protein content formula...

...Ferdinand Haschke; Nadja Haiden; Sagar K. Thakkar Protein ingested with breast milk provides indispensable amino acids which are necessary for new protein synthesis for growth and replacement of losses via urine, feces, and the skin. Protein gain in the body of an infant is highest during the first...

...Stewart Forsyth; Sheila Gautier; Norman Salem Jr. Background/Aims: There are only few data on dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake in infants from developing countries, and current global recommendations on intake during early life may not reflect the needs...

...Martani J. Lombard Introduction: Infant and young child (IYC) growth impairment remains a public health problem in Africa partly because infants are exposed to staple foods (contaminated with mycotoxins) at an early age. Understanding the role of mycotoxins in IYC growth is vital, and this paper...

... in about one third of infants in developing countries. From 6 months of age, breast milk can no longer meet all the nutrient requirements of the child, so from 6 months through at least 24 months, the recommendation is to continue breastfeeding but gradually introduce complementary foods. In poorer...

... of nutritional interventions in infants and young children. The four objectives were to (1) provide guidance on the quality and quantity of evidence needed to justify conclusions on functional and clinical effects of nutrition in infants and young children aged <3 years; (2) agree on a range of outcome...

... intake of infants, children and adolescents on measures of cognitive development and function. The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and Embase were searched up to and including February 2010. Studies were also identified by checking the bibliographies of the articles retrieved. All RCTs with an adequate control...

... and unresolved questions on the supply of vitamin D, folic acid, and iron for pregnant women, lactating women, and infants, and their health effects were discussed. The question was addressed of whether, and under which circumstances, supplementation with these micronutrients in addition to usual dietary intakes...

...Jose G. Dorea; Rosemeire A.V. Furumoto We studied the types of food, time of introduction, frequency and nutrient intake among 133 infants during the 1st year of life. A 24-hour dietary recall indicated that 42 different types of food, including mothers’ milk, were offered directly or in suitable...

...P. Le François; S. Chevassus-Agnes A food consumption survey by weighing has been carried out for 3 days in 38 Senegalese infants aged from 6 to 12 months living in the suburbs of Dakar in order to assess the importance of complementary food to cover their nutritional requirements. The recommended...

...Erika Sievers; Uta Clausen; Hans-Dieter Oldigs; Jürgen Schaub Aim: Since clinical indications may necessitate the feeding of supplements to newborn infants, the effects of different supplemental feedings on the recipient infants were studied. Methods: Two groups of healthy, term newborn infants (n...

...Ute Alexy; Mathilde Kersting; Wolfgang Sichert-Hellert; Friedrich Manz; Gerhard Schöch The intake of macronutrients (protein, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates, added sugars, fiber) was assessed in 354 healthy German infants and children aged 3–36 months from 3-day weighed diet records. The intake...

...Ute Alexy; Mathilde Kersting; Wolfgang Sichert-Hellert; Friedrich Manz; Gerhard Schöch Recently, new estimations of the energy requirements of infants and children were proposed as a basis of new FAO/WHO energy requirements.
