  • Infant feeding recommendations in Slovenia : nutrition working group
    Sedmak, Marjeta ...
    Infant feeding recommendations in Slovenia have been issued for healthly and maturely born children. Exclusive breast-feeding or full breast-feeding is recommended in the first six months of the ... infant's life. If breast-feeding isnot possible, infant formula is recommended, according to the Codex Alimentarius Standard, revised in 2007. It is not yet possible to make general recommendations for antiregurgitation infant formula is not the first choice of feeding for healthly infants. It is recommended that complementary feeding (i. e. solid foods and liquids other than breast milk or infant formula and follow-on formula) are not introduced before 17 weeks and not delayed beyond 26 weeks of age. During the complementary feeding period, more than 90% of the iron requirements of a breast-fed infant must be met by complementary foods, and the food should provide sufficient bioavailable iron. Cow's milk is a poor iron source and should not be used as the main drink before 12 months, although small volumes may be added to complementary foods. The recommendations for the minimal daily intake of vitamin D for newborns, infants and adolescents should be 400 IU, starting after the first week of the newborn's life (the same dosage applies for breast-fed infants and for infants on formula or follow-on formula). Since the study results regarding the influence of the late introduction of potentially allergenic foods, such as fish and eggs, on the reduction of incidence of allergies are incomplete and partly contradictory, both in infants considered at increased risk for the development of allergy or in those not considered at increased risk, the existing recommendations apply at the present. Introduction of gluten in complementary feeding should not be too early, i.e. < 4 months of age, and not too late, i.e. >/= 7 months of age. In this safe period or safe window, it is recommended that gluten is introduced gradually, in small amounts at between 6 and 7 months of age while the infant is still breast-fed, as this may reduce the risk of celiac disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus and wheat allergy. Honey contains spores of Clostridium botulinum and can cause the development of botulism in infants. Therefore, it is recommended that honey is introduced after the infant's first birthday. Infants on a vegetarian diet should receive a sufficient amount of breast milk or infant formula (app. 500 ml) and dairy products. Since minor irregularities in the composition of the vegetarian diet in children may lead to a deficiency of some basic nutrients and cause damage to their health, it is recommended that infants on a vegetarian diet should be under regular medical control. Infants and young children should not be on a vegan or macrobiotic diet.
