Newborns and infants are mainly fed with maternal and/or formula milk. In France, breast-feeding is abandoned about 8 weeks after delivery on average, even though it is well known that it is best for growth and sensory development. Several formulas are claimed to mimic maternal milk, but their large number is a source of confusion. Up to three years of age, formula milk and cow's milk are important for growth and skeletal mineralization.

Determinants of Maternal and Infant Omega-3 Status at 3 Months Postpartum: Findings from the APrON Longitudinal Cohort Study.
Am J Clin Nutr
January 2025
Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada. Electronic address:
Background: Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) are important dietary components for maternal and infant health during pregnancy and lactation.
Objective: This study investigated determinants of maternal and infant LCPUFAs status at three months postpartum and the relationship between maternal serum, mother's milk, and infant LCPUFAs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included mothers (n=1481) and their offspring (n=526) at three months postpartum from the APrON cohort.
Characterization of Bifidobacterium bifidum growth and metabolism on whey protein phospholipid concentrate.
J Dairy Sci
January 2025
Department of Food Science and Technology, University of California-Davis, Davis, CA 95616. Electronic address:
Whey protein phospholipid concentrate (WPPC) is a co-product generated during the manufacture of whey protein isolate. WPPC is depleted of simple sugars but contains numerous glycoconjugates embedded in the milk fat globule membrane, suggesting this fraction may serve as a carbon source for growth of bifidobacteria commonly enriched in breast fed infants. In this work, we demonstrate that WPPC can serve as a sole carbon source for the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum, a species common to the breastfed infant and routinely used as a probiotic.

Background: Food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis is a nonimmunoglobulin E-mediated, self-limited food allergy of the rectum and the colon. Cow's milk protein is the most common allergen responsible for the disease.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the roles of different types of formulas in building early tolerance to food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis in infants.

In the first 6 months, breastfeeding is the optimal nutrition for newborns, but the breastfeeding prevalence in Austria is still below the official WHO Guidelines (64% breastfeeding and 1.9% exclusive breastfeeding after 6 months). Exclusive breastfeeding rates in the first 6 months are low in the European Region but higher globally at 48%.

The nutritional environment during fetal and early postnatal life has a long-term impact on growth, development, and metabolic health of the offspring, a process termed "nutritional programming." Rodent models studying programming effects of nutritional interventions use either purified or grain-based rodent diets as background diets. However, the impact of these diets on phenotypic outcomes in these models has not been comprehensively investigated.
