Analysis of clinical experience of using formula nutrilon for bottle feeding of the first year of life in Ukraine.

The article describes some current issues of bottle feeding of first year children. Human milk oligosaccharides play an important role in postnatal development of the intestinal flora and development of protective functions of child's organism. Dietary modulation of the intestinal microflora and immune response is one of the important problems in the nutritional sciences today. The present review summarizes the data of experimental research and clinical studies concerning the possible effects of probiotic mixture of galacto-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides in Ukraine. The data demonstrate that prebiotic oligosaccharides such as studied mixture provide beneficial effects for formula-fed infants. The results from several studies in Ukraine demonstrate that probiotic oligosaccharides stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, reduce the growth of pathogens, decrease faecal pH, normalize the stool consistency and modulate immune system as human milk does.
