What is the most important question in infancy?
![Page 3: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Weight gain?
![Page 4: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Content
• Breast feeding• Composition of breast milk• Eosinophilic enteropathy, Reflux (GOR)• Formulas, solids• Iron, vitamins
![Page 5: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Three basic principles of infants feeding
• Until 6 months exclusive breast feeding.
• Demand feeding.• Milk or diluted milk can not be given
even between 6-12 months. Follow-on formulas are recommended.
![Page 6: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Until 6 months exclusivebreast feeding, BUT:
• Introduction of gluten and solids• Between 4-7 months (+ breast feeding)
• Decrease of celiac disease and foodallergy
Silano M, Agostoni C, Guandalini S. Effect of the timing of gluten introduction on the development of celiac disease. World J Gastroenterol. 2010 16:1939-42.

Demand feeding, BUT:
• Jaundice: sleepy infant, wake-up!
• Infantile colic: not every crying means
baby is hungry
![Page 8: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Energy content of the breast milk (BM)
• Exclusive breast feeding covers theenergy needs of infants until 6 months
• Energy needs: 90-120 kcal/kg/die• Energy of BM 60-70 kcal/100ml• 5000g baby: 500kcal BM pro day
750ml BM / day
![Page 9: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Advantages of breast feeding I.
• Composition of breast feeding is optimal for the development of infants
• PUFA content is necessary for the development of retina and brain
• Breast milk is easier digestable than the different formulas
![Page 10: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Advantages of breast feeding II.• Breast milk, especially colostrum ensures
immune defense• It contains antibacterial and antiviral
antibodies, as well as T-cells and macrophages
• Stool pH is lower, bacterial microflora bifidogen inhibiting enteral infections
![Page 11: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Advantages of breast feeding III.
• Frequency of obesity, hypertonia, IBD and Type I. diabetes mellitus are rare
• Favourable psychological relationship between the mother and child
• Atopic dermatitis, allergy ???
![Page 12: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Immunoglobulins and cytokines in BM
• IgA neutralizes pathogens, does not activatecomplement system (oral tolerance)
• TGF-beta (transforming growth factor)
inhibits immune activation
less allergy in breast fed infants
Tomicić et al. Pediatr Res. 2010;68:330-4.
![Page 13: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BUT:Breast fed infants do have:
• Atopic dermatitis• Allergic-eosinophilic esophagitis• Allergic-eosinophilic colitis
Foreign proteins in breast milk
![Page 14: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Eosinophilic esophagitis
• Main problem: reflux• BUT: pH is normal, therapy resistant, • 75% in males• Food allergy in 50%, eosinophilia 42%
• Dg: upper endoscopy• WHEN ???
![Page 15: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Hematochezia (fresh blood in feces)
• 3 months old infant, breast feeding• No family history for polyposis• CRP, blood picture, coagulogram: normal• Feces: no bacteria• RDE: no fissures, no obstipation
Dg: ALLERGIC COLITIS
Mother’s elimination diet (cow’s milk)
![Page 18: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Composition of breast milk Newburg DS: Handbook of milk composition. Academic Press 1995;pp 273-349
• Lactose 55-60 g/l
• Proteins 10 g/l
• Lipids 40 g/l
• Nucleotids, Erythropoietin, IgA, TGF-beta
![Page 22: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I. Lactose in BM (55-60 g/l)
• Main sugar/energy source• Enzyme: lactase• After 34. weeks lactase activity matures• Lactase activity after the age of 3y.
• Congenital absence of lactase: very rare
galactose glucose
![Page 23: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
II. Proteins in BM (10 g/l)Age (month) Breast milk
consumtion(g/day)
Proteinintake(g/kg/day)
1 794 1,95-2,04
2 766 1,41-1,48
3 764 1,19-125
4 812 1,27-1,33
5 782 1,11-1,16
6 881 1,05-1,11
![Page 24: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Proteins (1%=1g/100ml)
• Protein content of colostrum and early milk is higher
• Mature breast milk contains less secretory IgA and lactoferrin
• Ratio of whey and casein is also high (80/20) which is gradually decreasing to 60/40
![Page 25: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Whey/casein ratio (BM=60:40)
Whey:• Intestinal transport, motility• More digestable
Casein:• Viscosity , anti-reflux effect
![Page 26: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Recommended protein content of formulas
g/100 kcal g/lESPGHAN 1,8-2,8 12-19AAP 1,8-4,5 12-30Räihä 1,6-1,8 11-12
At decreased protein content the serum urea level will be similar to that found at exclusively breast fed infants
![Page 27: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Low protein intake in infancy is beneficial for future life I.
• Danish survey, 631 intants• At birth, 3 months, 18 months (US, blood)
Higher protein intake (formula fed infants):• Increased size of kidney• Higher urea in blood
Schmidt, Pediatr Nephrol, 2004;19: 1137-44
![Page 28: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Protein intake in infancy• DONALD study (203 children, mean age, 7 years)
• BMI and BF (body fat)• If high protein intake in infancy
• BMI and BF were increased (at 7 years)
Günther, Am J Clin Nutr 2007
Low protein intake in infancy is beneficial for future life II.
![Page 29: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Which mammals has the lowest protein in the BM ???
• Human breast milk
![Page 30: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
III. Lipids in BM (40 g/l)
![Page 31: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Importance of lipids
• High energy content• Beta-palmitate trygliceride is high in BM
(70%)• Significance of p oly-u nsaturated f atty a cids
(PUFA)
![Page 32: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Structure of triglicerides(αααα) CH3 - O - R1
|(ββββ) CH2 - O - R2
|(αααα) CH3 - O - R3
Pancreas lipase split the palmitic acid located in αααα position
![Page 33: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The advantage of tryglicerides containing beta-palmitate
• In this position the lipase does not split the palm itic residue
• Can be absorbed !!!
• Free palmitic acid forms with calcium unsoluble calcium soap which is not able to absorbe
• Therefore it decreases energy and calcium supply
![Page 34: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Significance of LC-PUFA in infant nutrition
• Linolic and linolenic acid is not synthesized in the human body (essential fatty acids)
• Docosahexaenoic acid is indispensable to the normal function of cell membrane
![Page 35: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Somatic development of breast fed infants
• After two months the length and weight of breast fed infants are slightly less than those of formula fed
• At the preparation of reference curves a preponderance of formula fed babies occured
• Not the maximal but optimal development is advantageous
![Page 36: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Infant mortality (1000 newborns ? at 1 year)
• Prehistoric man, chimpanzee infant mortality: 250 ‰
• End of XIX. is the same for men
• One of the reasons: NO infant formula 1903 (Derby) infant mortality:
- arteficial feeding: 230 ‰- breast fed: 70 ‰
![Page 37: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Infant formulas
For healthy babies Special formulas
1. Standard formula2. Follow-on3. Baby’s milk
![Page 38: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
1. Standard formulas
• Strict criteria• Range of energy : E:60-75 kcal/100ml
Trend toward less protein• Whey/casein = 60 : 40 • Taurin: development of retina and
CNS• Carnitin: lipid metabolism
![Page 39: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Why is not optimal to give cow’s milk to infants under one year?
• It contains too much– protein– sodium
• It contains too less– linolic acid– iron– vitamins (C, D, E)
![Page 40: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Cow’s milk feeding may cause:
• Iron-deficiency anaemia
• Blood in feces• Atopic dermatitis• Increased osmotic load
for kidneys
![Page 41: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
3. Baby’s milk
• Recommended from 7-9 months• Until 1-3 years• More expensive than cow’s milk• Price: 1.5-2x than cow’s milk
![Page 42: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Special formulasAnti-reflux
• seads of Saint John’s bread-tree (KAREB/CARAT)
• Corn-starch (AR) or potato-starch• HA and anti-reflux together (HA/AR)
![Page 43: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reflux, regurgitation• Size of stomach: 30 ml• Adults: 1500 ml• 5kg infant: 200 ml BM• 70kg adult: 2.8 litre !!!• Growing well?
• Exclude other causes(pyloric stenosis, intest. stenosis,
CAH, infections, metabolic etc.)
![Page 44: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Solids• Foods besides breast milk and
formulas• Introduction between 4-7 months
– fruits– cereals– vegetables– meat
![Page 45: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Iron deficiency• 1 billion people affected• Developed country: 12%, developing: 51%• Hungary: 8-36 months: 30%
4-6 years: 51% iron deficiency !• Iron psychomotorial and cognitive
function
• In iron deficiency: lead absorption
![Page 46: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Bioavailablity of ironIron content % of absorption
breast milk 0.5-1 mg/l 50%
cow’s milk 0.5-1 mg/l 10%
meat 2.5 mg/100g 30%
iron fortif. formula 12 mg/l 7%
![Page 47: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Iron and everyday practice
• First: measure iron level• Bacteria needs iron for growing• Do NOT give iron in bacterial
infection!• Term baby: no supplementation in 6-
9 months source: red blood cells
• Preterm baby: 2mg/kg after 2 months
![Page 48: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Vitamin K
• Vitamin K dependent coagulatory proteins (prothrombin, VII, IX, X)
• BM contains low level, supplementation• At birth, 1 week, once/months per os, 2mg• Formula contains vitamin K
• Intestinal bacteria produce vitamin K• Liver, soybean, spinach, tomatoes, kale
![Page 49: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Vitamin D
• Low level in BM• Supplementation: 400U/day• After 2 weeks - 1-1.5 years• Formula contains vitamin D
![Page 50: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Allergy, atopic dermatitis
![Page 51: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Probability of atopy in positive family history
• No atopy in the family : 10%• One parent / one sibling : 30%• Both of parents : 50%• Both p. with the same manifest. : 70%
![Page 52: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Allergy prevention of infants
• (Diet of mother during pregnacy: NO effect!!!)
• Longer breast feeding• Avoid food with high allergenicity (also
during breast feeding)• Hypoallergen formulas• Probiotics (Kalliomaki, Lancet, 2001)
![Page 53: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Probiotics („Good” bacteria)
• 1-1.5kg bacteria in the intestinal tract
• 400 bacterium species• 10 times more
bacteria than cells in the body
• „Good” bacteria:Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus species
![Page 54: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Probiotics and atopy• Kalliomaki, Lancet, 2001
• Lactobacillus GG was given to mother before delivery and to children for 6 months

Feeding of preterms
• Carnitin, taurin• LC-PUFA, MCT• Phosphate crosses
placenta in the last 3 months
• Iodine, selenium

Somatic development of breast fed infants II.
• After 3 years no difference can be detected in length of breast fed and formula fed children
• The weight of formula fed babies is
always higher, among them the
frequency of obesity is high
![Page 59: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Contraindications of breast feeding
• From the mother’s part– Severe acut or chronic infections (typhus,
erysipelas, tuberculosis, AIDS)– Sepsis– Postpartum psychosis
• From the infant’s part– Some types of inborn error of metabolism
(galactosaemia, some forms of glycogenosis)

Difficulties of breast feeding• Mother’s side
– Mamilla rhagad– Papilla plana– Papilla plana inverta
• Infant’s side– Cleft palate– Missing sucking reflex (prematurity,
cerebral impairment)– Severe rhinitis

Fruits
• First apple and peach• other recommended fruits seasonal
fruits– sour cherry – cherry– pealed plum– pear– orange, lemon, banana
• Fruit juices and mashed form

Vegetables
• First is the potato• Following with carrots, beetroot,
lettuce, pumpkin, Brussels sprout, spinach, bean, green peas, asparagus
• Savoy, cauliflower only after 8 months
• Spinach, sorrel have high oxalate content therefore only once a week
![Page 63: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Meats and egg
• Fish is advantageous because of its fatty acid composition, but it may cause allergic reactions.
• Chicken liver once a week• Egg yolk after 8 moths• Egg white after 1 year

Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding(WHO/UNICEF)
1. Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care staff
2. Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy
3. Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding
![Page 66: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding(WHO/UNICEF)
4. Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within a half-hour of birth
5. Show mothers how to breastfeed, and how to maintain lactation even if they should be separated from their infants
6. Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breastmilk, unless medically indicated
7. Practice rooming-in: allow mothers and infants to remain together 24 hours a day
![Page 67: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding(WHO/UNICEF)
8. Encourage breastfeeding on demand9. Give no arteficial teats or pacifiers
(also called dummies or soothers) to breastfeeding infants.
10. Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharge from the hospital or clinic

Utilization of breast milk’s proteins
• Total protein content 11 g/l, from which only 9 g/l is utilized for nutrition.
• Secretory IgA, lactoferrin and lizozym are not used for nutrition
• Only 13 % of urea can be used for aminoacid synthesis
![Page 69: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
How to decrease allergenity?
• Heating, home-canning is good: apple, celery, fish
BUT not good: cow’s milk, eggs• Gene technology (rice, wheat)• Enzymatic hydrolysis
Special formulas: hypoallergen (HA)
![Page 70: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Why should not be given formula instead of breast milk after birth?
• Frequency of cow’s milk allergy in breast fed infants 0.4%
• But: every child was given formula in the hospital!Host, Acta Paed Scand, 1988
40 ml cow’s milk contains:ββββ-lactoglobulin (main allergen in cow’s milk)
1 litre of breast milk/day for 21 years !!!

Role of nucleotides I.
• Although they can be synthetised, in infants nucleotides are semiessencial compounds as the rate of their endogen synthesis is not sufficient to the normal functions
• Breast milk contains nucleotides in higher concentration than the cow’s milk and formulas
![Page 72: Infant nutrition - SOTE](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011721/61d24c1668ff1840ba1c6763/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Role of nucleotides II.
• Nucleotids help the development of intestinal mucosa and improve the absorption of different nutritients
• They promote the growth of Bifidobacteria• Increase the cellular and humoral immune
response

Erythropoietin (Epo)
• Breast milk (BM): Epo (Kling, Pediatr Res, 1998)
• Per os Epo can be absorbed
BM protectsProtease activity
Intestinal permeability
