Abstract

Everybody in this audience is well aware of the fact that in about the last two decades great advances have been made in fetal and neonatal medicine. Due to the recently gained knowledge in fetal biology as well as in neonatal biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiology a much better understanding of special dietary needs in prematurity and infancy has been achieved. Based on sound scientific background completely new feeding regimens are used today, which have not even been thought of about 20 or 30 years ago and which in turn have considerably contributed to the development of so-called "foods for special dietary purposes."
