Summary: The study aimed to develop nutritious recipes for complementary feeding for children aged 6-23 months in Bangladesh, as well as provide guidelines for doctors, nutritionists, and caregivers. Through a baseline survey and Trials of Improved Practices, it was found that most of the recipes were acceptable to both mothers and children, leading to the development of a manual and guideline for improved complementary feeding practices. This report serves as evidence-based practical knowledge for training and nutrition education for practitioners, policy makers, and academicians.

Summary: In this study, rapid advancement of enteral feeds did not significantly impact infants' growth up to age 5. Weight and BMI standard deviation scores at age 5 remained lower than the reference population, suggesting that accelerated feeding may not contribute to increased childhood adiposity risk.

Summary: A systematic evaluation of goat-milk-based infant formulas (GMFs) compared to cow-milk-based formulas (CMFs) found no significant differences in infant growth and safety parameters. Although there were some concerns and biases in the included studies, the results provide reassurance that GMFs are similarly safe and well tolerated as CMFs for infants.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of adding a virtual facilitator tool to an enhanced community conversation programme on infant and young child feeding practices in Ethiopia. While statistically non-significant, the intervention group showed positive changes in important nutritional practices.

Summary: Millet-based diets have a significant positive effect on the growth of children, improving mean height, weight, mid upper arm circumference, and chest circumference when substituting regular rice-based diets. However, the growth improvement is minimal when enhancing and diversifying the diet while replacing rice with millet.

Summary: This study found that maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and human milk exposure influenced the alpha and beta diversity of the infant gut microbiota at 6 months of age. The major determinant was the proportion of human milk in the infant diet.

Summary: Early life feeding practices can impact long-term health, particularly in the development of non-communicable diseases. Breastfeeding and the introduction of solids play a crucial role in preventing allergies and promoting adequate infant growth. The use of plant-based infant formulas is becoming popular, but their effects on growth and food allergies need to be considered.

Summary: Increasing total protein intake by providing protein-rich complementary foods was associated with increased concentrations of certain essential amino acids and short-chain acyl-carnitines. The sources of protein-rich foods (e.g., meat vs. dairy) did not differentially impact serum metabolites, and further mechanistic investigations are needed to identify other contributors to the diet-induced infant growth trajectories.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of Alive & Thrive's intervention on infant and young child feeding practices in Kaduna and Lagos States of Nigeria. The results showed that the intervention had a positive effect on exclusive breastfeeding in Kaduna, while the effects on early initiation of breastfeeding and minimum dietary diversity were not significant. In Lagos, the intervention had minimal impacts on IYCF practices. Exposure to intervention activities was associated with improved IYCF practices.

Summary: Due to poor study quality, evidence on the effects of any human milk feeds or higher versus lower doses of human milk was inconclusive. Some studies suggest that lower doses of human milk may improve weight gain in infants during hospital admission compared to higher doses, while feeding exclusive preterm formula may lead to increased head circumference growth in infants. The clinical significance of these findings remains unclear, and further research is needed to determine the effects of an exclusive human milk diet on outcomes.

Summary: The study found that one-third of children with CF have low serum zinc levels in the first 3 years of life. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses revealed discrepant associations between serum zinc levels and growth, indicating the need for prospective studies to understand the role of zinc in growth in CF.

Summary: The study found that maternal intake of low-calorie sweeteners during lactation is associated with an increased risk of vomiting in infants, but not with weight and overweight. Despite the small sample size of the study, the results suggest a need for further research on the potential adverse effects of sweeteners on gastrointestinal symptoms.

Summary: Feeding a VLBW infant is challenging as enteral feeding progression is often slower than recommended and differs from the prescribed amount. Factors such as higher gastric residual volume, absence of stool passing, longer opiate use, patent ductus arteriosus, and respiratory distress syndrome were associated with slower enteral feeding progression. It is important to adhere to the prescribed feeding regimen in VLBW infants.

Summary: The report summarized recommendations on feeding infants and young children in high-income countries from 43 eligible guideline documents, highlighting both consistency and differences across various aspects. Developing future harmonized guidance on feeding of infants and young children requires new research, rigorous methods, and incorporation of dissemination and implementation guidance.

Summary: This article discusses the preferred method of nutrient provision for preterm infants and the benefits of early enteral feeding in enhancing nutrient delivery and promoting development. It also suggests methods to improve clinical enteral delivery and highlights the impact of early enteral feeding on preterm infant health, including enhancing micronutrient delivery, promoting intestinal and brain development, and reducing inflammation.

Summary: This study calculated recommended portion sizes for school-aged children based on weight for age and developed a meal plan to meet nutritional needs within energy requirements. Portion sizes were developed for commonly eaten foods by children in different age groups, and the meal plan met energy and nutrient requirements for school-aged children.
