Abstract

A review of the special feeding of infants and young children using formulas has been carried out. Breast milk is always the nutritional reference, the gold standard, for infant feeding, but sometimes formula feeding is necessary. Thus, there are routine formulas intended for healthy infants or those with minor digestive disorders such as regurgitation, colic or constipation, and formulas for special medical uses, designed for premature or low weight infants or to use with infants who have adverse reactions to food, as lactose intolerance, or allergies as the cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) or who suffer from severe pathologies such as chronic kidney failure or metabolic deficiencies. Keywords: infant formulas; minor digestive disorders; special medical uses; hydrolized formulas; CMPA; cow’s milk protein allergy
