Breastfeeding is recommended for all infants irrespective of atopic heredity, although epidemiological studies provide conflicting results in this debate.
Early nutrition in infancy may influence later child health outcomes including overweight through 'programming'.
The aim was to review the use of supplements during lactation and to document the use of nutritional supplements in a cohort of breastfeeding mothers.
Breastfeeding has been associated with multiple developmental advantages for the infant; however, there have also been a number of studies that find...
Modern societies are challenged by "wicked problems" - by definition, those that are difficult to define, multi-casual and hard to treat.
There is controversy over whether increased breast-feeding duration has long-term benefits for language development.
The rate of non-compliance with vitamin D supplementation is as high as 45%. This is why randomised controlled trials are needed to analyse the response...
To determine whether there was an independent effect of breastfeeding on child and adolescent mental health
Cytokines in milk like transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) have been shown to induce oral tolerance in experimental animal studies
The functional role of milk for the developing neonate is an area of great interest, and a significant amount of research has been done. However, a lot of work remains to fully understand the complexities of milk, and the variations imposed through genetics. It has previously been shown that both secretor (Se) and Lewis blood type (Le) status impacts the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) content of human milk. While some studies have compared the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se+ and Se- women, none have reported on the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se- and Le- mothers.
