Clinical Nutrition Conversations: Randomized Clinical Trial in Infants Fed a Formula Supplemented with 5 HMOs

Join us for a clinical nutrition conversation with John Stutts, MD, MPH, and Elizabeth Reverri, PhD, MS, RD, who discuss the outcomes of a randomized clinical trial in infants fed a formula supplemented with 5 Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs).

Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs): Emerging Science on Potential Complementary Benefits

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third most abundant solid component of human milk and there are more than 150 HMOs across three categories. This infographic provides additional details about these three categories while highlighting emerging science on the potential complementary benefits of providing HMOs across all categories.

Structured Lipids

Normal human growth, development, and weight maintenance are dependent on the intake of dietary fat. In many gastrointestinal conditions, the body is unable to absorb fatty acids effectively.

Structured lipids can help by providing an easily digested source of fat; enhanced fatty acid and fat-soluble vitamin absorption; improved energy delivery to peripheral tissues.

In this infographic, you’ll learn more about what structured lipids are, how they’re made, how they work, and why they’re important.

DHA & Lutein: Nutrients Vital to Eye & Brain Development

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and lutein form a power team of nutrients that encourage healthy eye and brain development, especially for infants and children. Unfortunately, many young children don't eat enough DHA & lutein-enriched foods to support brain and eye health.

With this infographic, you’ll learn how to describe the importance of DHA and lutein in infancy and early childhood; discuss what happens when children have a deficiency in either nutrient; offer a list of DHA and lutein-rich foods; and consider the role of nutritional supplementation to help prevent or treat impairments brought about by DHA and lutein deficiencies.

The Interplay Among Sleep, Nutrition & Childhood Growth

In this 18:21-minute podcast episode, Nilong Vyas, MD, MPH, discusses the synergistic role sleep and nutrition can play in childhood growth.

Dr Vyas discusses how to tell if a child is or isn’t sleeping well; how sleep impacts childhood growth; how nutrition – and specifically diet composition – impacts sleep quality; and more.

Breastfeeding Education

Families benefit greatly from the guidance offered by their healthcare team when it comes to succeeding at breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a learned skill, and ANHI has developed resources for both the healthcare professional and the family to assist in this learning. Ver en Español.

Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)

Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measures muscle and fat mass in children, which is an important indicator of their nutritional status. The MUAC Z-score tape—a simple, inexpensive, paper-based device—allows healthcare providers and caregivers to take these measurements in children aged 2 months to 18 years for an easy assessment of malnutrition risk.
