Age-tailored nutrition system for infants

摘要

The invention relates to a method of providing nutrition to an infant in the first six months of life comprising feeding to the infant for at least part of the first one to eight weeks of life a first infant formula. The first formula has a protein source comprising whey and optionally casein proteins and having a whey:casein ratio between 100:0 and 60:40 and a protein content between 2.0 and 3.0g protein/100 kcal. The method further comprises feeding to the infant for at least part of the remainder of the first six months of life a second infant formula having a protein source comprising whey and casein proteins and having a whey:casein ratio between 70:30 and 50:50 and a protein content between 1.7 and 2.1g protein/100 kcal. The protein content or the whey:casein ratio of the second formula or both is/are lower than for the first formula.
