Weaning Practices in Phenylketonuria Vary Between Health Professionals in Europe
Pinto, A; Adams, S; Ahring, K; Allen, H; Almeida, M F; Garcia-Arenas, D; Arslan, N; Assoun, M; Atik Altınok, Y; Barrio-Carreras, D; Belanger Quintana, AIn phenylketonuria (PKU), weaning is considered more challenging when compared to feeding healthy infants. The primary aim of weaning is to gradually replace natural protein from breast milk or standard infant formula with solids containing equivalent phenylalanine (Phe). In addition, a Phe-free second stage L-amino acid supplement is usually recommended from around 6 months to replace Phe-free infant formula. ...

Early Feeding Practices in Infants with Phenylketonuria Across Europe
Pinto, A; Adams, S; Ahring, K; Allen, H; Almeida, MF; Garcia-Arenas, D; Arslan, N; Assoun, M; Atik Altınok, Y; Barrio-Carreras, D; Belanger Quintana, AIn infants with phenylketonuria (PKU), dietary management is based on lowering and titrating phenylalanine (Phe) intake from breast milk or standard infant formula in combination with a Phe-free infant formula in order to maintain blood Phe levels within target range. Professionals use different methods to feed infants with PKU and our survey aimed to document practices across Europe.

Ruiz, M; Goldblatt, P; Morrison, J; Porta, D; Forastiere, F; Hryhorczuk, D; Antipkin, Y; Saurel-Cubizolles, MJ; Lioret, S; Vrijheid, M; Torrent, MBACKGROUND:Comparable evidence on adiposity inequalities in early life is lacking across a range of European countries. This study investigates whether low maternal education is associated with overweight and obesity risk in children from distinct European settings during early childhood. METHODS:Prospective data of 45 413 children from 11 European cohorts were used. Children's height and weight obtained at age...
