Abstract: A feeding regimen for an infant which includes (a) providing a first composition comprising a fat or lipid; a protein source, wherein the protein source has from about 72% to about 90% whey and from about 10% to about 28% casein; a prebiotic composition; and at least about 72 IU/100 kcal of vitamin D, (b) instructing that the first composition is to be fed to an infant from birth through 4 months of age; (c) providing a second composition, the second composition comprising: a fat or lipid; a protein source, wherein the protein source has from about 50% to about 70% whey and from about 30% to about 50% casein; a prebiotic composition; and no greater than 70 IU/100 kcal of vitamin D; and (d) instructing that the second composition is to be fed to an infant starting at 4 months of age.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering nutrients to subjects requiring small-volume nutritional support, such as preterm infants. The compositions may comprise an emulsion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). The nutritional compositions are useful, for example, in correcting nutritional deficiencies by increasing a subject's intake of nutrients, such as ?-3 or ?-6 long-chain polyunsaturated acids. The nutritional compositions are suitable for enteral delivery as a nutritional supplement or for oral delivery as a human milk or infant formula fortifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a premature infant formula fortifier comprising a protein component, a fat component, and a carbohydrate component, wherein about 10 to about 30% of the caloric content of the fortifier is from protein. Also provided is a composition for administration to premature infants, comprising i) a premature infant formula fortifier comprising a protein component, a fat component, and a carbohydrate component, wherein about 10 to about 30% of the caloric content of the fortifier is from protein, and ii) a premature infant formula. Additionally, the present disclosure provides a method for promoting the growth of a premature infant, comprising administering to the infant a composition comprising i) a premature infant formula fortifier comprising a protein component, a fat component, and a carbohydrate component, wherein about 10 to about 30% of the caloric content of the fortifier is from protein, and ii) a premature infant formula.

Abstract: A feeding regimen for an infant which includes (a) feeding to a newborn infant a first composition including a fat or lipid; a protein source, wherein the protein source has from about 72% to about 90% whey and from about 10% to about 28% casein; a prebiotic composition; and at least about 72 IU/100 kcal of vitamin D, and (b) feeding to a later stage infant a second composition which includes a fat or lipid; a protein source, wherein the protein source has from about 50% to about 70% whey and from about 30% to about 50% casein; a prebiotic composition; and no greater than 70 IU/100 kcal of vitamin D.

Abstract: The subject invention provides for the administration of docosahexaenoic acid in preventing pathological proliferation of blood vessels. The compositions of the subject invention are particularly advantageous because they are stable, bioavailable, and can be formulated in an aqueous solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional supplement for administration to children. The supplement comprises a protein component, a carbohydrate component, and a fat or lipid component which further comprises a source of DHA. The supplement has an ?-6:?3 fatty acid ratio of about 6:1 or less. The present invention also relates to a method of providing nutrition to a pediatric subject comprising administering to the subject a nutritional supplement comprising a protein component; a carbohydrate component; and a fat or lipid component, which further comprises a source of DHA, wherein the composition has an ?-6:?-3 fatty acid ratio of about 6:1 or less.
