Delivery mode specific synthetic nutritional compositions for infants up to 1 month of age, more particularly up to 2 weeks of age, wherein the iodine content is adapted based on that found in HM produced for an infant of the same age born by the same delivery mode. Nutritional systems comprising said delivery mode specific synthetic nutritional compositions are also provided.

The present invention relates to methods for feeding and to compositions to be administered to infants delivered via caesarian section and in particular to the use of a) at least two different microorganisms; or b) at least one microorganism and at least one indigestible oligosaccharide; or c)at least two different Bifidobacteria species, subspecies or strains for the manufacture of a composition for enteral administration to an infant delivered via caesarean section. Thereby it is possible to stimulate the healthy development of the intestinal flora of said infants.

Described herein, are compositions and methods for preserving human milk, preventing rancidity of human milk, extending shelf life of human milk, and maintaining the nutritional properties of human milk. Specifically, the present disclosure provides, among other things, devices for storing preserved human milk and methods and compositions for preserving the same.

The present invention provides the use of a composition comprising non-digestible oligosaccharide for the manufacture of a composition for enteral administration to an infant delivered via caesarean section.

Provided herein are cell constructs for producing a cultured milk product from mammary epithelial cells (MECs). In some embodiments, the cell constructs comprise a scaffold, a culture medium in fluidic contact with the scaffold, and mammary cells coupled to the scaffold. In some embodiments, one or more features and/or properties of the scaffold are specified so as to mimic a basement membrane to help to induce the secretory phenotype of mammary epithelial cells in vitro.

The present invention relates to purified and concentrated human milk oligosaccharide compositions and methods of making and using the same.

This disclosure features human milk permeates and compositions containing the same obtained from fractionated whole human milk. The oligosaccharide rich permeate and permeate compositions of the present invention are useful as nutritional supplements for pre-term and full term infants, for establishing or maintaining gut flora and for treating the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.

The invention relates to the use of glutamine, preferably in the form of free amino acids, dipeptides and/or tripeptides, in the manufacture of a nutritional composition for improving exploratory behavior, memory performance, particularly spatial memory performance, and/or social interaction in an infant or toddler and/or treating or preventing impaired or decreased exploratory behavior, memory performance, particularly spatial memory performance, and/or social interaction in an infant or toddler.

Gender specific synthetic nutritional compositions for infants 4 to 8 months of age, 1 to 2 months of age, or up to 1 month of age wherein, the concentration of methionine is adapted based on that found in HM produced for an infant of the same gender and age, and nutritional systems comprising them.

Gender specific synthetic nutritional compositions for female or male infants of 1 to 2 months of age wherein, the concentration of arginine is adapted based on that found in HM produced for an infant of the same gender and age, and nutritional systems comprising them.
