“…The probiotic species that were usually used in formula milks were of the genus Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus ( B. infantis, B. longum, L. casei subsp. Rhamnosus , and L. reuteri ; De Almagro Garcia et al, 2017 ), since it was known that bacteria of the genus Bifidobacterium predominate in the microbiota of breast‐fed infants (Schack‐Nielsen & Michaelsen, 2007 ).…”

There are circumstances in which breastfeeding is not possible and formula milk feeding has to be resorted to. In these cases, it is difficult to choose among the multitude of brands on the market for infant feeding. Although the composition of formula milk is largely regulated by legislation, there are certain nutrients whose presence in breast milk is beneficial. This circumstance will help us to establish some criteria to choose formula milk for a healthy infant. Among all the formula milks which can be found in different shops (pharmacies, supermarkets, etc.), market research has been carried out based on the nutritional criteria: the lipid and protein profile, certain carbohydrates, amino acids, and vitamins, as well as the presence of nucleotides, prebiotics, and probiotics. Based on these results, it can be established which formula milk we would give to a healthy infant. Thus, within the analyzed formula milks, it has been concluded that the most complete milk in this would be formula milk D and the least formula milk J. Although more studies are needed to confirm this, it is foreseeable that, as the scientific evidence is greater, the legislation will be updated and considering these nutrients for a correct formula milk.

“…In 1977, the nutritional composition of formulas was established by the Nutrition Committee of the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) to achieve products that match human milk as closely as possible and cover all infant nutritional requirements [64]. To benefit infant health and nutrition, the formulation of these preparations has been modified over the years based on new knowledge about the composition of human milk and according to the updated standards of ESPGHAN and the American Academy of Pediatrics [65][66][67].…”

Breastfeeding is the gold standard for infant nutrition in the first six months of life when feeding choices determine growth and development. However, human milk is a complex and highly variable fluid that, in addition to nutrients, contains several bioactive components, including polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine), and constitutes the first exogenous source of these compounds for infants. Active in various cellular processes, polyamines are involved in the growth and maturation of the gastrointestinal tract and the development of the immune system and therefore play an important role in the first year of life. This chapter reviews the impact of polyamines on infant growth and health, the polyamine content in human milk and how it is influenced by factors related to both the mother-child dyad and breastfeeding itself. In addition, a comparative analysis of human milk and infant formulas in terms of polyamine content and profile is presented.

“…As our understanding of the composition of human milk increase, it is becoming clear that breast milk not only covers the nutritional needs of an infant but contains a wide array of bioactive factors with medicinal qualities that also have a profound role in infant health [4]. Thus, to better mimic the health-promoting functionality of breast milk, it is increasingly common to supplement infant formulas with various functional ingredients that are also found in breast milk, such as probiotics, DHA, lactoferrin, vitamins and minerals, and others [5][6][7].…”

Supplemented Infant Formula and Human Breast Milk Show Similar Patterns in Modulating Infant Microbiota Composition and Function In Vitro

The gut microbiota of healthy breastfed infants is often dominated by bifidobacteria. In an effort to mimic the microbiota of breastfed infants, modern formulas are fortified with bioactive and bifidogenic ingredients. These ingredients promote the optimal health and development of infants as well as the development of the infant microbiota. Here, we used INFOGEST and an in vitro batch fermentation model to investigate the gut health-promoting effects of a commercial infant formula supplemented with a blend containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (20 mg/100 kcal), polydextrose and galactooligosaccharides (PDX/GOS) (4 g/L, 1:1 ratio), milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) (5 g/L), lactoferrin (0.6 g/L), and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis, BB-12 (BB-12) (106 CFU/g). Using fecal inoculates from three healthy infants, we assessed microbiota changes, the bifidogenic effect, and the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production of the supplemented test formula and compared those with data obtained from an unsupplemented base formula and from the breast milk control. Our results show that even after INFOGEST digestion of the formula, the supplemented formula can still maintain its bioactivity and modulate infants’ microbiota composition, promote faster bifidobacterial growth, and stimulate production of SCFAs. Thus, it may be concluded that the test formula containing a bioactive blend promotes infant gut microbiota and SCFA profile to something similar, but not identical to those of breastfed infants.
