dc.description.abstractReviews the latest scientific information on the physiological development of infants during the prenatal period and first year of life, showing the significance of breast milk as the only truly universal source of nourishment. The objective is to define the physiological considerations that are the basis for appropriate dietary patterns and practices, in view of infants nutritional needs and degree of functional maturity, particularly as regards the type of food given, and their excretory processes and defences against infection. Separate chapters cover nutritional aspects of pregnancy and of the newborn, health factors which may interfere with breast-feeding, complementary feeding, the low-birth-weight infant, and the physiology of the infant and young child during periods of acute infection. The resulting information can serve as the scientific basis for preparing guidelines on infant feeding, taking into account the available foods and local customs. Though addressed to health professionals, the review also offers useful information for general readers seeking an update on the topicen
