This webinar by Professor Berthold Koletzko will explore the critical role of lipids in infants' nutrition and their impact on development and health. It will discuss the essential role of lipids in infants' growth, emphasizing the importance of protecting, supporting, and promoting breastfeeding for its unique milk lipids. The session will highlight the significance of DHA intake for breastfeeding women, who should aim for 200 mg/day from oily fish or supplements, and the necessity of including DHA and ARA. It will also explore the benefits of incorporating complex animal lipids to enhance brain development and immune defense. Additionally, learn about advancements in formula technology that create lipid droplets similar to those in human milk, with clinical trials suggesting no safety concerns and potential developmental benefits, including lower BMI trajectories until age five.
