Chair: Richard J. Schanler, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston

This program for physicians providing care to premature infants is designed to provide a review of the issues surrounding long-term feeding of human milk. Topics to be covered include the neurodevelopmental outcomes of term and preterm breast-fed infants, the adequacy of human milk to advance this development, and the requirements for growth and body composition. The need for fortification and the specifics of fortification of human milk for preterm infants will be reviewed.

Micronutrient supplementation: Why, when and for whom.

1. A historical perspective of micronutrient supplementation  - Robert Karp
•recognizing the historical deficiency disease
•chemical isolation of micronutrients and the use of nutrients in prevention of ancient scourges
•the reappearance of concern for deficiency in families of poorer children — classic diseases and increased risk for modern ones.

2.  The Infant and Child — Mike Farrell
•breast and bottle feeding
•the prevention of iron deficiency
•concerns for degenerative diseases of contemporary society.

3.  The Adolescent Infancy and Early Childhood  - Sandy Hassink
•the nutrient needs of the adolescent
•preventing osteoporosis
•the dieting obese child as a special concern

4.   Medical Therapy and Micronutrients - Liz Sheppard
•medically necessary micronutrient supplementation
•examples: in type II diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and treatment with INH or Dilantin
•use of micronutrients in ‘alternative therapy’
