The NNI and WNSC 102 Workshop, “Growing Strong: Harnessing the Power of Nutrition for Child Health,” explored the critical role of optimal nutrition in shaping growth patterns, promoting healthy development, and ensuring proper nourishment for the brain, bones, and overall growth. It also examined the influence of environmental factors and exposures, along with strategies to optimize these elements. Additionally, the workshop delved into the impact of nutrition on growth and the long-term risk of non-communicable diseases, with a focus on interventions during preconception, fetal development

Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common food allergies in infancy, yet it remains a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse symptoms and overlapping presentation with other conditions. This article provides a comprehensive overview of CMPA—covering the immunologic mechanisms (IgE- and non-IgE-mediated responses), key clinical manifestations, diagnostic tools such as oral food challenges, and evidence-based management strategies guided by the latest updates from ESPGHAN and DRACMA recommendations. It offers practical guidance to support early diagnosis, appropriate

Human milk is the gold standard of infant nutrition, rich in essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that support growth, development and overall health. The bioactive compounds in human milk protect against infections, promote healthy gut microbiota, and aid in brain development. While current research explores the role of specific bioactives in infant health, further studies are crucial to fully understand the complex interactions among these components and their long-term impact on infant growth and development.
