“…The observed increase in total fat content from foremilk (1.4 g/dl) to hindmilk (4.1 g/dl) was expected [6]. The milk fatty acid composition (table 2) did not show appreciable differences from reported reference data [18]. The milk phosphoglyceride and sphingomyelin contents (table 1) were within the expected range of concentrations.…”

Excessive Weight Gain during Full Breast-Feeding

Background: Breast-feeding is considered to offer optimal nutrition for healthy infant growth and development. Observational studies have linked breast-feeding to reduced obesity. Case Observation: We observed an infant who was born macrosomic (4.56 kg) and showed excessive weight gain markedly exceeding the 97th percentile of weight during full breast-feeding. At the age of 4 months, the weight was greater than 11 kg. Clinical evaluation did not reveal any underlying pathology. After the introduction of complementary feeding and hence reduction of the breast milk intake, the excessive weight gain was attenuated and the slope of the percentile curve paralleled upper percentiles. Since this pattern suggested full breast-feeding as the driver of excessive weight gain, we analyzed the human milk composition at the infant age of 1 year and compared the results with published data on composition at this stage of lactation. Results: The milk contents of lactose, fat, fatty acids, polar lipids, carnitine species, and insulin were similar to the reference data. The adiponectin content was increased. The most remarkable alteration was a high milk protein content (mean 1.25 g/dl, reference 0.8 g/dl). Conclusions: A very high protein supply in infancy has been previously shown to increase plasma concentrations of the growth factors insulin and IGF-1, weight gain, and later obesity. We speculate that interindividual variations in human milk adiponectin and protein contents may contribute to modulation of the growth of fully breast-fed infants and in this case may have contributed to excessive weight gain during full breast-feeding. This hypothesis merits being tested in future cohort studies.

“…The global average DHA content of human breast milk is 0.32 8 0.22% ; thus, the average breast milk DHA output can be calculated to be 110 mg/day. This figure can be compared to a study from western Australia reporting breast milk DHA output of about 49 mg/day for women, with mean breast milk DHA of 0.19%, well below the global mean [Mitoulas et al, 2003]. A simple proportionality [(0.32/ 0.19) !…”

“…Les lipides alimentaires consommés par les nourrissons et les enfants sont d'origine et de nature très différentes : lors de la grossesse et de la période d'allaitement, les profils lipidiques dépendent en grande partie de l'alimentation de la mère (Drouillet et al, 2009 ;Kent et al, 2006 ;Mitoulas et al, 2003 ;Xiang et al, 2005). Le lait maternel est riche en lipides : de 44 % (en pourcentage de l'énergie totale) à 1 mois à 39 % à 6 mois (Grote et al, 2016).…”

Reçu le 30 mars 2016 -Accepté le 8 avril 2016Résumé -Cet article analyse la place des lipides dans l'alimentation des jeunes enfants. Premièrement, il montre d'une part la contribution importante que devraient avoir les lipides aux apports énergétiques totaux des enfants de moins de deux ans, en raison de leur intérêt fonctionnel dans le développement neuronal et de leur effet potentiellement protecteur d'une obésité ultérieure ; d'autre part, il souligne la faible contribution des lipides aux apports énergétiques totaux chez les enfants français, d'après les estimations disponibles, avec une minorité d'enfants pour lesquels les apports en lipides sont satisfaisants. Deuxièmement, il rapporte les connaissances disponibles concernant le contrôle « sensoriel » de la consommation de lipides. Chez les nouveau-nés et les nourrissons, quelques travaux portent sur les préférences pour les lipides, et indiquent l'absence d'une préférence pour les lipides. Chez les enfants, une teneur augmentée en lipides a parfois (mais pas toujours) un effet positif sur l'appréciation d'un aliment, avec souvent une teneur optimale ; mais elle n'est pas associée à une consommation plus élevée de l'aliment. Des teneurs élevées en lipides ont deux effets sur les apprentissages alimentaires. Chez des enfants de moins de 3 ans, un triplement de la densité énergétique par l'ajout de lipides est associé à la mise en place d'un rassasiement conditionné pour l'aliment concerné ; chez des enfants plus âgés, un doublement de la densité énergétique par l'ajout de lipides, est associé à une augmentation de l'appréciation des flaveurs associées aux versions les plus riches en lipides. Des pistes d'études complémentaires sont discutées. Mots clés :Lipides / enfants / préférence / appréciation / comportement alimentaire Abstract -Fats and eating behaviour in children. This paper analyses the place of fats in young children's diet. Firstly, it shows on the one hand the important contribution that fats should have to total dietary intake of children younger than 2 years, because of their interest for neural development and their putative protective effect against the further developement of obesity ; on the other hand it underlines the low contribution of fats to total dietary intakes in French children, according to the available data, with a minority of children with adequate fat intake. Secondly, it reports available knowledge regarding the sensory control of fat intake. In newborns and infants, some works have looked at preference for fats and indicate the absence of a fat preference. In children, a higher fat content in foods is sometimes (but not always) associated with a positive effect on liking, often with an optimal content, but it is not associated with a higher intake of the food. High fat content in foods have two effects on eating behaviour learning. In children younger than 3 years, tripling the energy density of a food by adding fat is associated with the development of a conditioned satiation for this food ; in older children, doubling ...
