In this study, the digestive properties of milk formulas (two concept milk formulas L1 and L2 with ∼5 μm and a control milk formula S1 with ∼0.5 μm) were evaluated using a dynamic digestion model simulating the infant gastrointestinal tract. The results showed that L1 and L2 had a lower lipolysis degree compared to S1 during gastric digestion and no significant difference at the end of the digestion process. Triacylglycerol lipolysis products were highly related to the lipid sources of milk formulas. At the end of digestion, glycerophospholipids in milk formulas were hydrolyzed to lysophospholipids (∼60-80%), while sphingomyelins were barely hydrolyzed. Concept milk formulas showed a complete spherical structure with a mean size of 3-5 μm during gastric digestion, while the control formula had large aggregates consisting of small lipid droplets. This study reveals that the structure of lipid droplets moderates the gastric digestion emulsion structure and further influences the digestive properties of milk formulas.

The process that begins around the 6th month of life and continues until the 24th month is called the complementary feeding period. During this period, infants and children start receiving foods that complement breast milk or formula for the first time. The psychosocial factors the infants and children encounter during this period may affect their growth and health in later life.

Aim: The aim was to investigate feeding type at discharge; exclusively breastfeeding (EBF), mixed breastfeeding (MBF), and formula milk feeding (FMF), factors associated with feeding type, and changes in weight-for-age z-score (ΔWAZ) in infants admitted to Danish neonatal units.
Methods: Using data from the Danish National Quality Database for Births and the Danish Newborn Quality Database, we included 8639 mother-infant dyads admitted ≥5 days between February 2019 and December 2021. We used logistic regression to investigate associations between maternal and infant factors and feeding type, and descriptive statistics to describe ΔWAZ and feeding type at discharge.

Introducing commercial milk formula (CMF) as prelacteal feeds can disturb exclusive breastfeeding and shorten breastfeeding duration. However, the prelacteal feeding of CMF has been growing alongside its increasing sales in Indonesia. This study examined predictors of the CMF feeding in the Malang and Sidoarjo districts of Indonesia.

The farming of animals is one of the largest industries, with animal food products, milk, and dairy being crucial components of the global economy. However, zoonotic bacterial diseases, including brucellosis, pose significant risks to human health. The goal of this research is to develop a mathematical model to understand the spread of brucellosis in cattle populations, utilizing the Caputo-Fabrizio operator to control the disease's incidence rate.

Pasteurized donor human milk must be provided when mother's own milk (MOM) is not available for preterm infants. There are concerns that human milk banks (HMBs) and the use of donor milk may potentially reduce breastfeeding rates. To compare feeding during hospitalization and at discharge before and after the opening of a HMB and to evaluate the proportion of milk provided by mothers of premature babies, comparing the intake of MOM in infants born of donor and no donor mothers.
