Background

Featured Course
Karla Gil, MD
Jessica Kalia, DO, FAAP, IBCLC

This education is about:

  • How the infant formula landscape has changed over the last several years
  • The role of regulatory bodies in infant formula and how rules and systems impact safety, product composition, and labeling
  • Key differences between United States and European Union regulations for infant formula
  • Navigating nutritional differences, label terminology, and infant formula marketing as a healthcare professional (HCP)
  • Guiding parents and caregivers on choosing the best option for formula-fed infants

Why it matters:

The infant formula landscape has changed dramatically over the last several years, in part, due to the Infant Formula Shortage of 2022 and the COVID-19 pandemic. An understanding of how formula options have changed and how regulations influence infant formulas is critical for HCPs. Guiding parents and caregivers on infant formula choice requires clinicians to be familiar with nutritional differences, label terminology, and how infant formulas are marketed.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is an extremely common occurrence in infants and resolves without intervention in most infants by 1 year of age. Nonetheless, GER is a common cause of caregiver concern and anxiety, which may lead to the overuse of acid suppressants in the infant population. Given the risks associated with these drugs in infants, it is important to understand the differences between GER and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the recommended treatment strategies for these conditions.

In this presentation, Misty Good, MD, MS, discusses new developments in the prevention and management of NEC, with a focus on IL-22 signaling as a target. Dr. Good reviews established and novel research techniques used to assess NEC, including mouse models and intestine-on-a-chip methods, and the ways in which these tools have helped further basic and translational NEC research. This presentation highlights the importance of preclinical research in the development of novel therapeutics, which is encapsulated by the studies that identified the potential role of IL-22 in NEC pathology and generated candidate therapeutics for future evaluation in the clinic.

The structure and function of the brain develops at an astonishing rate during the first 1,000 days of life, and nutrition has been shown to play a key role in this process. Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM)—a complex 3-layer membrane structure found in human milk—contains key lipids and proteins that play a role in supporting early neurodevelopment. Understanding the science, structure, and evidence supporting the neurodevelopmental benefits of MFGM is important for all clinicians and researchers interested in supporting cognitive outcomes in formula-fed infants.
