Abstract:
Factors in human milk serve as stimuli for present and future investigation as supplements for infants. These substances involve macronutrients and micronutrients. Some substances such as minerals may serve as guidelines for minima and maxima for infant nutrition. While nutritional studies are needed for the prevention of disease, simultaneous nutritional studies for low birth weight and ill infants will bring major alterations in understanding of nutritional needs and types of feedings to become available.
