Immunologic Properties

At present, there is no evidence to warrant modification of the recent recommendations of the Committee for the prevention of iron deficiency in infancy.1 The benefits of supplementation seem to outweigh the possibility of iron excess during a period of development characterized by marginal iron stores. Except for the first two months of life, iron stores in children are proportionately much lower than in the adult, and iron balance may be more precarious. Unless carefully controlled clinical studies provide evidence to the contrary, iron fortification of formula and foods seems to provide safe and effective methods for maintaining iron stores and preventing iron deficiency18,35 in infancy. The benefits of prolonged breast-feeding are emphasized not only for the prevention of iron deficiency but also because of the nutritional and immunologic properties of human milk.

Immunologic Properties

Breast-feeding is still the optimal mode of feeding for the normal full-term infant. At the present time, no infant formula has been developed that can reproduce the immunologic properties, digestibility, and trophic effects of human milk. The nutritional content of infant formulas has come a long way since 1849 when Baron Justus van Liebig stated that all living tissue, including food, was composed of different proportions of carbohydrate, fat, and protein. This resulted in the first commercially available human milk substitute, Baron von Liebig's Soluble Food, which was available in the United States by 1869.1 In 1884 Dr A.V. Meigs of Philadelphia published the chemical analysis of human and cow's milk that has served as the basis for modern infant formulas.2 The stimulus for this early research for a substitute for human milk was based upon the recognition that not all infants have access to human milk. Infants fed with substitute foods did not thrive well, so attention was turned to the nutritional content of infant feeding mixtures. This emphasis remains to the present time, even though technology has developed in this past decade so that investigators are beginning to understand the importance to the growing infant of other factors such as the immunologic and trophic components of milk.

Immunologic Properties

Breast feeding has been intensively campained throughout the country in the last decade, which is thought to be responsible for the decline of the incidence of gastroenteritis. One of the most important advantages of breast feeding is the immunologic properties of breast milk. The importance of breast milk in the protection of many infections of the newly born infants, who are naturally immunologically deficient, is well-established. Breast milk contains humoral as well as cellular immunity components, each component has its elements although it is possible to describe the role of each components, it is generally thought that the protective properties of human milk against infections in neonates and young babies are the results of interactions of many factors rather than the effect of solely each factor. The role of humoral (immunoglobulins) and cellular (macrophages, lymphocytes, and other cellular elements) immunity of human milk, especially its protective properties, is discussed in this article.
