The article presents data on the three critical components of infant formula — carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well as additional ingredients that determine the optimal development of the child. Analysis of the pathophysiological characteristics of the child can help when choosing the right formula.
Key words: infants, ultimate nutrition, infant formulas.
