Human Milk, Fortifiers, and Infant Formula Innovations: Advancing Nutrition and Health in Preterm and Term Infants

Dear Colleagues,

Feeding during early life is of major importance and has short- and long-term health consequences. Breastfeeding has been reported to be the best method to feed infants. Therefore, every effort should be made to breastfeed infants for as long as possible. However, this may not be possible for every infant. Therefore, efforts to optimize a second choice of feeding, formula feeding, are also needed.

In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight recent advances focused on optimizing infant feeding. I invite our readers to share the results of their research in this area.
