Dietary sugars have been shown to promote excess adiposity among children and adults; however, no study has examined fructose in human milk and its effects on body composition during infancy. Twenty-five mother-infant dyads attended clinical visits to the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center at 1 and 6 months of infant age. Infants were exclusively breastfed for 6 months and sugars in breast milk (i...

Human milk lipids provide the infant with energy and essential vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and bioactive components. Adding complex lipids and milk fat globule membranes to vegetable oil-based infant formula has the potential to enhance infant development and reduce infections. Cholesterol provision with breastfeeding modulates infant sterol metabolism and may induce long-term benefi...

All mothers should breastfeed their infants, initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of life and continuing up to 2 years age or beyond. Some conditions nissisate formula feeding. Because every child has separate needs, there are a variety infant pediatric formulas from that choose. Not only several categories counting milk protein-based, soy hydrolyzed protein, amino acid-based, but chang...

fatty acids play important roles in biological systems and the newborns fatty acids requirements are covered only by the milk. it is of particular interest to qualify the content of the fatty acids in the milk. this study was performed to determine the levels of some fatty acids in the infant formulas and also to describe a method without derivatization for the fatty acids analysis and applying...

Expression and storage of breast milk is way to maintain breastfeeding when mother and infant are separated, if the nutritional value can be conserved. Three expressed breast milk samples were collected from 61 healthy lactating mothers in Cairo, Egypt, for determination of total protein, fat, lactose and zinc content, as well as vitamins C, A and E concentrations. One sample was analysed immed...

I. A study was made of the partition of the major constituents of rat’s milk during the formation of the clot in the infant rat’s stomach. 2. Milk was obtained from the dams by manual expression after separation from their litters for periods ranging from 12 to 23 h. 3. The ratio of fat to protein in the clots removed from the stomachs of the 11-day-old pups was more than double that found in t...

Milk lipids are composed of milk fat globules (MFGs) surrounded by the globule membrane (MFGM). MFGM protects MFGs from coalescence and enzymatic degradation. The lipid fraction is a “natural solvent” for macronutrients such as phospholipids, proteins cholesterol, micronutrients minerals vitamins. research focused largely on polar MFGM, given their wide bioactive properties. In this review we d...

Parents who have a baby with infantile colic experienced a different thought and emotions such as hopelessness, fatigue and impasses. In this study, our living experience as a professional nursing parents' are represented with new relieving modality for infantile colic. Herein, we report a new relieving dietary protocol for a colicky infant with non- Immunoglobulin E – mediated protein induced ...

Vitamin A deficiency remains a significant health risk in developing countries, affecting infants and children in particular. To counter child malnutrition, mothers are encouraged to breastfeed to ensure that their children receive adequate macro- and micronutrients, including vitamin A. However, this assumes that the mother has sufficient vitamin A intake to provide enough vitamin A to her chi...
