LIQUID TRANSITION NUTRITION FOR INFANTS

摘要

Liquid composition suitable for supporting the transition period wherein the infant changes from a diet consisting of breast milk or liquid infant formula to solid foods with a viscosity 20-150 mPas, containing a digestible carbohydrate fraction and an indigestible carbohydrate fraction with at least 50 wt. % soluble indigestible oligosaccharide with a degree of polymerisation (DP) between 2 and 100.

1. A method for weaning an infant, comprising administering to the infant a composition having a viscosity between 20-150 mPas comprising:
(a) a digestible carbohydrate fraction comprising, based on total weight of digestible carbohydrate: (i) less than 20 wt. % monosaccharide; (ii) between 20 and 70 wt. % disaccharide, wherein at least 10 wt. % is provided by lactose; (iii) between 10 and 30 wt. % digestible oligosaccharide with a degree of polymerisation (DP) of 3-250; (iv) between 10 and 40 wt. % precooked material selected from the group consisting of cereal starch and cereal flour, or both; wherein the weight ratio of [lactose]/[[digestible carbohydrate other than lactose] is between 0.25 and 2.5; and (b) an indigestible carbohydrate fraction comprising at least 50 wt % soluble indigestible oligosaccharide with a DP between 2 and 100
