Docosahexaenoic acid is important for fetal brain development and visual acuity in infants. Infants born prematurely are at particular risk for docosahexaenoic acid insufficiency because they may not have benefited from a full trimester of the mother's lipid stores.

This is the first study in which the administration of fish-oil lipid emulsion in very low birth weight infants from the first day of life is described. The influence of fish-oil lipid emulsion on the regression of retinopathy seems to be worthy of further investigation. (Read the full article)

Bronchiolitis is the most common cause for hospital admission in patients aged <1 year. Hypoxia is a common reason for admission. Despite a multitude of studies looking at various treatment strategies, no clear benefit has been found.

With oxygen therapy being the main therapeutic option, home oxygen offers a novel way to manage bronchiolitis. This study shows that home oxygen is a safe and effective way to decrease hospital admissions in a select group of patients. (Read the full article)

Impaired fetal growth is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in adulthood and is associated with arterial wall thickening, a noninvasive measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, in early childhood. No preventive strategy has been identified.

Dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in early childhood prevented the association of impaired fetal growth with arterial wall thickening, suggesting that this early-life intervention may mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease in those with impaired fetal growth. (Read the full article)

Postpartum vitamin A supplementation is a strategy to combat vitamin A deficiency and seems to reduce maternal/infant morbidity and mortality. However, controversies exist regarding which dose has a greater efficacy, 200 000 IU (WHO protocol) or 400 000 IU (IVACG protocol).

In this study, postpartum maternal supplementation with 400 000 IU of vitamin A did not provide any additional beneficial effect in reducing infant morbidity compared with the standard dose of 200 000 IU. (Read the full article)

During prenatal counseling for prematurity, information is provided to expectant parents to empower them to participate in the medical-care decision-making regarding their child. However, numerous studies have shown that providing information effectively during preterm labor is challenging.

The current study provides evidence that effectiveness of counseling can be improved by providing written information to parents before the face-to-face verbal counseling. Appropriately presented, detailed information improves knowledge and decreases maternal anxiety. (Read the full article)

Infants with biliary atresia with total bilirubin >2 mg/dL are at risk for fat-soluble vitamin (FSV) deficiency. A multivitamin preparation containing d-α tocopheryl polyethylene glycol-1000 succinate alone is not effective in treating biochemical FSV insufficiency in cholestatic infants.

Micronutrients are essential for brain development during gestation and infancy. Few randomized trials of maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy and postpartum have examined child outcomes beyond the neonatal period or tested which cognitive domains show long-term effects.

Children of undernourished mothers given multiple micronutrients performed as well as children of well-nourished mothers in motor and visual attention/spatial ability at age 42 months; children of undernourished mothers given iron/folic acid showed 4- to 5-month delays in these abilities.

A growing number of epidemiologic studies suggest that individuals with lower vitamin D levels are at higher risk of acute respiratory tract infection. Randomized controlled trials are needed to determine if vitamin D supplementation would decrease this risk.

Declining dietary omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids has been associated with rising allergy prevalence and fish oil is therefore of interest in allergy prevention. Supplementation during pregnancy, but not after the age of 6 months, has achieved some allergy reductions.

We assessed the effect of fish oil supplementation from birth to 6 months, which has not been investigated previously. Our results, together with previous findings, will likely help define a "window of opportunity" for allergy intervention using fish oil supplements. (Read the full article)

Despite numerous preventive strategies including prophylaxis with 400 IU/day of vitamin D in recent years, the deficiency of vitamin D in infants is still a global health problem.

This study reveals that the risk of vitamin D deficiency is high in exclusively breastfed infants, especially in winter, despite vitamin D supplementation. Therefore, it is suggested that an adjustment of vitamin D dosage for seasonal variation might be necessary. (Read the full article)

Low birth weight (LBW) infants (<2500 g) are at risk for cognitive and behavioral problems later in life. During infancy, they are also at risk for iron deficiency, which has been associated with impaired neurodevelopment in other high-risk groups.

Iron supplementation during the first 6 months of life to LBW infants reduces the risk of behavioral problems at 3.5 years. Mild iron deficiency in infancy may be an important, preventable contributor to behavioral problems in children born with LBW. (Read the full article)
