  1. Infant Formula Mónica Riojas, MD LSU Pediatrics

  2. Principles of Infant Feeding Energy Requirements: kcal/kg/d • 0-12 mo: 100-120 • 1-3 yr: 90-100 • 4-6 yr: 80-90 • 7-10 yr: 70-75 • 15+ yr: 45-50

  3. Principles of Infant Feedings Formula fed infants feed every 3-4 hrs. Feedings/day 0-3 Months: 6-8 4-6 Months: 5-7 6-8 Months: 4-6 9-12 Months: 3-5

  4. Principles of Infant Feeding Average Volume of Milk per Feeding • 1st wk: 1-2 oz • 2-4 wks: 2-3 oz • 1-2 mo: 4-5 oz • 3-4 mo: 5-6 oz • 5-6 mo : 7-8 oz • By 12 mo of age, the average child should be taking an average of 24 oz/d.

  5. INFANT STOMACH CAPACITY

  6. Infant Formula Indications As substitute for human milk in infants for whom BF is medically contraindicated. As supplement for BF infants who do not gain weight adequately. As a substitute or supplement for human milk whose mother chooses not to BF or not to do it exclusively.

  7. Distribution of Kcals

  8. Question • Which of the following statements about infant nutrition is true? • Human milk contains more casein than infant formulas. • Infants who receive increased whey protein have been shown to grow better than those who receive primarily casein. • Iron is absorbed better from cow milk formulas than from human milk. • Lactose-free formulas result in decreased absorption of calcium. • There are no apparent negative effects from the addition of DHA and ARA to formulas.

  9. Differences Between Types of Milk

  10. Benefits of Whey Protein Promotes more rapid gastric emptying. Consists of soluble proteins that are easily digested. Lines the GI tract and plays a role in host defense.

  11. Question • Is iron supplementation required at birth? • No • When should you start iron supplementation? • All babies (including breastfed) should receive supplementation in their food (iron-fortified cereal) by 6 months of age. • In FT infants, iron stores become depleted by 4-6 months of age.

  12. Dietary Recommendations IRON Pre-term: 2 mg/kg/d at 1-12 mo Full-term: 1 mg/kg/d at 4-6 mo Iron Fortified Formula: 12 mg/L Cow’s milk has 0.5mg/L of iron.

  13. Dietary Recommendations VITAMIN D • 400 IU/d Who should receive Vitamin D? • All BF infants, unless they are weaned to at least 1000 ml/d (33 oz) of Vit. D fortified formula. • Formula fed infants ingesting ≤ 1000 ml/d of Vit. D fortified formula. • Children/adolescents who get no sun light, ≤ 1 L of Vit. D fortified milk, no MVI.

  14. Infant Formulas • Premature Formulas • Standard Formulas • Special Formulas

  15. Standard Formulas COMPOSITION • Protein • Whey (β lacto-globulin) & Casein • Whey predominant (60:40), Casein predominant (20:80), or 100% whey • Fat • Vegetable oils • Coconut: Saturated, short & MCFA • Palm oil: Saturated & LCFA • Safflower, corn & soy: LCFA, DHA & ARA • Carbohydrate • Lactose

  16. Standard Infant Formulas Provide 20 cal/oz PRESENTATIONS: Powder Concentrated Liquid Ready to Feed

  17. Preparation of Infant Formula POWDER Add 1 scoop powder to 2 oz of water CONCENTRATED LIQUID Mix 1 oz concentrated liquid and 1 oz water 13 oz can READY TO FEED Hospital use: 2 and 3 oz bottles 32 oz container Expensive

  18. Preparation of Infant Formula What type of water should be mixed with the formula? • Tap: safe, may boil x 1 min. • Distilled water with fluoride. • Well: boil 10 min. Give fluoride. • Warm, cold or room temperature.

  19. Cow Milk/Standard Formulas Designed to meet the nutritional needs of the term and near-term infant. Enfamil Premium Newborn & Infant Similac Advance Store Brands

  20. Cow Milk/Standard Formulas

  21. New Infant Formula Features Prebiotics • Nondigestible short-chain carbohydrates that stimulate growth and function of specific species of bacteria. • Increases concentration of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. • Used to treat chronic diarrhea. • Beneficial to atopic children. Probiotics • Live microorganisms that survive digestion and colonize the colon. Organic • No pesticides or synthetic fertilizer used. • No hormones or antibiotics used.

  22. Premature Infant Formulas • For LBW and Premature Infants • Increased energy requirement: 120 kcal/kg/d • Preterm formulas should always be discontinued before hospital discharge. • Increased intake with age → excess intake of vitamins/minerals

  23. Composition of Premature Infant Formula • 20, 22, 24 kcal/oz • Increased protein: whey predominant • 60% whey:40% casein • Breastmilk - 70% whey:30% casein • Increased calcium & phosphorus • Contain AA: cysteine and taurine • Lactose + glucose polymers • MCT • Increased Vitamins & Minerals

  24. Premature Infant Formulas • Enfamil Premature 20 cal • Enfamil Premature 24 cal • Similac Special Care Advance 20 cal • Similac Special Care Advance 24 cal • Good Start Premature 24 cal

  25. Premature Infant Formulas

  26. Transitional Formulas • 22 kcal/oz INDICATIONS • Infants 34 WGA or 1,800-2,000 g • How long should infants be on transitional formulas? • 6 to 9 months of age

  29. Question • What type of milk would you recommend a breastfeeding infant that develops “rash and hives” while eating yogurt and cream cheese, and tolerates foods such as eggs and bread without any problems? • Trial of Soy Milk–Based Formula • If no improvement switch to an extensively hydrolyzed or AA-based formula

  30. Soy Protein Formulas • Lactose Free • Contain higher concentrations of protein, AA, calcium, phosphorus, zinc and iron. Primary Carbohydrate • Glucose polymers from corn syrup solids or maltodextrin

  31. Soy Protein Formulas INDICATIONS • Galactosemia • Congenital Lactase Deficiency • Post-diarrhea lactose intolerance • Strict vegetarian family

  32. Soy Protein Formulas NOT RECOMMENDED FOR • Preterm infants with BW ≤ 1800 g. • Do not meet requirements for calcium and phosphorus. • Prevention of colic or allergy • Infants with cow milk protein-induced enterocolitis (non-IgE allergic enterocolitis) • 30% of infants with milk protein allergy also have soy protein allergy.
