Background Controversy exists over whether longchain polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LCPUFA) are essential nutrients for preterm infants, who may not be able to synthesise …

Background The n‐3 and n‐6 fatty acids linolenic acid and linoleic acid are precursors of the
n‐3 and n‐6 long chain fatty acids (LCPUFA). Infant formula has historically only contained …

Neonates, particularly those born prematurely, are exquisitely vulnerable to life-threatening
infections. This increased susceptibility to infection is maintained into childhood. Despite the …

Breast-fed infants score better on visual and developmental tests than do formula-fed infants
and this has been related to higher concentrations of erythrocyte docosahexaenoic acid …

We investigated whether the disparity in neural maturation between breastfed and formula-
fed term infants could be corrected by the addition of fish oil, a source of docosahexaenoic …

Context Uncertainty exists about the benefit of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the
neurodevelopment of preterm infants. Objective To determine the effect of meeting the …

Objective: To assess the effects of antenatal omega 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid
(n-3 LC PUFA) on cognitive development in a cohort of children whose mothers received …

OBJECTIVE. There is evidence that infants with ankyloglossia can experience breastfeeding
difficulties including poor attachment to the breast, suboptimal weight gain, and maternal …

Background The preferred timing of umbilical-cord clamping in preterm infants is unclear.
Methods We randomly assigned fetuses from women who were expected to deliver before …

Introduction: We investigated placental transfer and neurobehavioural effects in neonates
exposed to citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine or sertraline …
