A novel approach to the reduction of cat allergen Fel d 1 through inclusion of an egg product ingredient containing anti-Fel d 1 IgY antibodies in the feline diet
This article provides summaries of four poster presentations from the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology conference in 2019.
Are women getting adequate nutrition during preconception and pregnancy?
In a Maternal & Child Nutrition analysis of published studies on the dietary habits of women who were trying to conceive or were pregnant, most studies indicated that women do not meet nutritional recommendations for vegetable, cereal grain, or folate intake. Pregnant women did not meet iron or calcium intake requirements in 91% and 55% of studies, respectively, and also exceeded fat intake recommendations in 55% of studies.

Nutrition and the microbiome in the first 1000 days and beyond
Nutrition is an important factor for early programming. The nutrient supplies to the fetus could initially be modulated by placental transfer with the mothers’ diet, being a “window of opportunity” to modulate the infant growth...

Introducing peanuts and eggs early can prevent food allergies in high risk infants
Research undertaken by King's College London and St George's, University of London has found that introducing certain foods early to infants can prevent them from developing an allergy despite low adherence to an introduction regime.

Protein in Neonatal Nutrition: Not Too Little Not Too Much
Nutrition during the first 1000 days of has a long-term effect on health and metabolic outcome. Preterm infants have high protein needs but in clinical practice it is often difficult to meet those high requirements.

NNIW94 - Milk, Mucosal Immunity and the Microbiome: Impact on the Neonate
There have been considerable advances in our understanding of the diverse mixture of bioactive components in human milk that influence the immune status of infants by not only facilitating development, but also by providing protection, modulating tolerance, and regulating an appropriate inflammatory response. Human milk is the communication vehicle between the maternal immune system and the infant, actively directing and educating the immune, metabolic, and microflora systems within the infant. The NNIW 94 brochure provides a comprehensive overview on the latest human milk research and our understanding of its potential for modulating mucosal immunity, the microbiome and its impact on the neonate

Controversies on the role of hydrolysed formulas in the prevention of allergy and management of cow’s milk protein allergy in infants
There are controversies surrounding the role of hydrolysed formulas (HF) in the prevention of allergy and management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infants.

Appropriate age range for introduction of complementary feeding into an infant’s diet – EFSA Scientific Opinion
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) revised its 2009 Opinion on the appropriate age for introduction of complementary feeding of infants. This age has been evaluated considering the effects on health outcomes, nutritional aspects and infant development, and depends on the individual’s characteristics and development.

The Nest 45: Nutrition in Toddlerhood: Challenges and Opportunities
The Nest 45
Toddlerhood represents striking changes in children’s development. It is a period of a time of rapid cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development. Changing nutritional needs accompany these developmental milestones. This publication of The Nest brings together topics of great interest on the field of toddlers’ nutrition such as toddlers’ development and their nutritional needs and gaps, role of milk fortification and importance of adequate vitamin D intake and status at this stage of life.

NNI News - Update: Nutrition Issues
Composition of the child‘s intestinal microbiome plays an important role in functional gastrointestinal disorders. Likewise, human milk oligosaccharides, HMOs, evidently have an influence on the development or prevention of gastrointestinal diseases. It is likely that they contribute significantly to the protection of the child‘s body. Childhood overweight and obesity are not diseases in the strict sense, but paediatricians and nutritionists are increasingly confronted with these problems. Can long-term consequential damage be avoided or at least limited through early intervention, targeted counselling and dietary change? Some interesting research results on different nutrition issues have been published recently and are summarized in this NNI News brochure.

Effects of Higher Protein Formula with Improved Fat Blend on Growth and Feeding Tolerance in Preterm Infants
Preterm formulas containing greater protein:energy ratio are beneficial for non-breastfed infants, since protein is critical for promoting catch-up growth and synthesis of lean body mass. This study evaluates the effects on growth, nutritional status, and feeding tolerance of low birth weight preterm infants of an experimental formula with high protein with improved fat blend.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides: New Ways to Shape the Gut Microbiome in Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy
Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) are multifunctional breast milk components that shape the developing gut microbiota and influence the developing immune system. Supplementing specialty formulas for the management of CMPA with HMO offers a new way to shape the gut microbiome in infants with CMPA that for any reason cannot be breastfed.

Annales 77.1 - Early-Life Contributors to Child Well-Being
Happiness is a feeling of well-being, joy, or contentment and to occur there has to be a balance between positive experiences and some which are less positive. The title of this volume reflects an umbrella that covers important issues that relate the human body and well-being to nutrition. Maternal factors, feeding practices and healthy food choices contribute to optimal physical and cognitive development and support child well-being.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides support immune protection through the early life microbiome
HMOs shape the establishing early life gut microbiota and supposedly help the development of appropriate immune competence. This is particular evident in situations of an early life dysbiotic microbiota such as seen upon C-section birth. This brochure highlights clinical observational and interventional trials in infants with special focus on effects of HMOs on microbiota outcomes.

Narrowing the Protein Deficit Gap in Critically Ill Patients Using a Very High Protein Enteral Formula
Protein deficits in critically ill patients have been associated with longer ICU stays and increased mortality in patients at nutrition risk. Current clinical view suggests that if protein goals are met, meeting full energy targets may be less important. Use of an isocaloric, higher protein enteral nutrition (EN) formula may provide patients with adequate protein, without overfeeding energy in the first week of critical illness.
