The benefits of breast feeding and emerging research on HMOs
About the webinar:
Join Professor Peter Davies in this webinar to delve into the science behind the benefits of breast feeding. You’ll learn why naturally occurring human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) from breast milk are incredibly important for a baby’s optimal growth and development – so much so, they’ve recently been approved for addition to infant formula. The 150-year history and subsequent developments in infant formula will also be discussed.
