Today on the podcast we chat with the amazing Dr Emma Beckett.&nbsp; This chat blew me away. The knowledge and how Dr Emma imparts it for families is remarkable! The first 1000 days on an infants life, from conception - a child&rsquo;s second birthday are a time of rapid growth, especially for the gut and immune system. It also lays the building blocks for lifelong health. Dr Emma and I chat about this. We discuss the gold standard of breast feeding, however, for some families that isn&rsquo;t possible, so we discuss how Mums and Dads can help supplement an infants diet through microbiome and immune development through other means. Infections are one of the most common reason infants are brought in to a health care setting. Supporting gut and immune health through nutrition can help reduce this concern and build long term resilience in little ones.&nbsp; Nurses play a hugely important role in this area. Through guidance and support, we can assist families to navigate feeding issues and concerns.&nbsp; Understanding the science around well-researched formula ingredients, such as prebiotics, helps reassure families that they are caring for their infants in a safe way when it comes to deciding on ways to feed their infants. The prebiotics you need to look for in are formula are the following: Galacto-oligosaccharides Fructo-oligosaccharides Also printed as scGOS/lcFOS&nbsp; These are the most researched prebiotic blend globally. <a href="http://www.tendernessfornurses.com.au">www.tendernessfornurses.com.au</a> <a href="http://www.nutricia.com.au">www.nutricia.com.au</a> Dr Emma Beckett - Food & Nutrition Scientist Sponsored by Nutricia.
