Abstract
The model used for the design of infant formulas is mature human milk, after making allowances for differences in the bioavailability of nutrients. Although the composition of infant formulas resembles that of human milk, there are still many differences in the nutrient content of these products which may be significant. The differences in energy, protein, lipid and iron content of infant formulas and human milk are discussed in relation to nutritional and biochemical outcome. Further research is required on these nutrients before the optimal content is defined. This information will complement work currently being conducted on novel substances.
