Home made infant formula
Safety concerns of the Paleo diet for infant and paleo DIY infant formula
27
Paleo DIY infant formula recipe was available online made from liver, cod liver oil, bone broth with no assurance for the safety, nutritional quality or appropriateness for infants
-Immature kidneys and GI tract -Upper limits Vitamin A, high in sodium, protein and iron -Microbiological risk with ingredients such as honey (botulism risk), runny eggs (salmonella) and raw liver, raw milk (listeria and salmonella)
28
Even famous cooks can make dangerous inventions for young ones
Pete Evans -2015 - Bubba Yum Yum Chelsea Winter- 2020 Dairy-free toddler milk
29
Alternatives NOT recommended for infants <12 months
-Cows milk as a drink (instead of infant formula or breastmilk -Plant-based milk alternatives (soy, oat, almond, coconut)as a drink -Condensed milk -Evaporated milk
30
There is two types of protein in infant formula
Casein and whey
31
Whey is ........whereas casein .....
Whey is quickly digested whereas casein forms curds that are more slowly digested, resulting in slower gastric emptying
32
Expressed as casein:whey ratio Breastmilk...... Whey dominant infant formula ...... Casein dominant infant formula.....
40:60 40:60 80:20
33
Whey and casein protein in breastmilk
Dominant whey protein in BM is alpha-lactoalbumin (low levels in formula) Dominant casien is beta Casein (same as goats milk formula)
34
whey and casein protein in Cows milk formula
Dominnat whey protein in formula is beta-lactoglobulin (not found in BM) Dominant casein is alpha casein
35
Infants who are struggling to digest cows milk they will be suggested to ...
goats but this doesn’t usually work because if they struggle with cows they most likely will struggle with other mammalian milk
36
Soy based infant formula Soy formulas contain.... The protein is.....
Soy formulas contain no cows milk, no casein and whey Protein is soy protein isolate
37
Soy protein isolate is a
High digestible protein with high amounts of essential amino acids, it os supplemented with methionine, taurine and carnitine (EAAs) Recommended for babies >6 months
38
Protein -infant weight regulation
Breastmilk: 1.5g/100kcal Formula 2.2g/100kcal formula-fed infants have tend to have greater weight gain than breastfed infants Led to early protein hypothesis
39
Protein quality in in infant formula is positively associated with.....
Increased risk of overweight and obesity, and these effects may have a long-term impact beyond the first 2 years of life
40
FSANZ proposed standar changed because of
Growing interest in lowering the reuirements to potentially lower risk of obesity in childhood
41
2019 Nestle dropped
follow up formula only from 0.45g/100kJ to 0.38g/100kJ
42
July 2021 FSANZ considers that
More evidence is required to demonstrate the advantages of lower protein intakes for younger infants - Proposed to keep minimum 0.45g/100kJ
43
Carbohydrate
Lactose is the major carbohydrate in human breast milk, cows milk and in most milk based infant formulas
44
Lactose intolerance is ... in infants
Rare
45
Primary lactase enzyme deficiency
-Uncommon before 203 years of age -Symptoms: Diarrhea, cramps, bloating, vomiting and gas
46
Secondary lactase enzyme deficiency
-More common -Results from bowel injury, as an example infants who have experienced non-IgE-mediated cows milk allergy or viral gastroenteritis
47
Lactose free formulas generally contain
Corn syrup solids rather than lactose -Many soy-protein formulas also do not contain lactose
48
FSANZ proposed standard changes
Codex STAN 72-1981 includes guidance on the type of digestible carbohydrate to be used (e.g preffered sources of carbohydrate and that sucrose and fructose should be avoided but this is not mandatory
49
Lactose and glucose polymers are the preferred carbohydrate
source in infant formula
50
Fat
Provides a significant percentage of energy 40-50%
51
Ratio of PUFA to saturated fat in milk affects...
Digestibility and facilitates absorption of calcium and fat from the gut
52
Main sources pf the fat
Vegetable oils, including : corn, soy, Linolenic acid within a specific ration and range
53
LCPUFAS are added to formulas at..
at a cost to the consumer (premium formula or "Gold")
54
FSANZ proposed standard changes (fat)
Proposed to lower the maximum amount of trans fatty acids to 3% (from 4%)
55
Trans-fatty acids are?
Manufactured fats created during a process called hydrogenation, which is aimed at stabilzing polyunsaturated oils to prevent them from becoming rancid and to keep them solid at room temperature. Linked with heart disease and my pose a risk for cancers.
56
Other Optional substances ????
Prebiotic -Oligosaccharides Probiotic
57
Organic Infant formula still need to
Meet regulations they need to meet their organic regulations which results in a higher price in organic infant formulas

suitable from birth

Codes applies to infant formula marketing
NZIFMA applies to the manufacturers, marketers and sistributors of infant formula

61
Contaminated with melamine
Organic base chemical most commonly found in the form of white crystals rich in nitrogen - added to milk powdered to increase the volume Cause kidney stones and kidney failure
62
2008 melamine
Estimated 300 000 victims with six infants dying from kidney damage and 54, 00 infants hospitalised
63
Covid 19
Supply issues of infants formula - Lead to increased demand for breast milk donations in milk banks

In covid 19 google searches for homemade formula recipes increased by
2400%
