Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The editors of Nutrients have asked me to spearhead the creation of a Special Issue of the journal dealing with issues surrounding breast feeding. I am therefore delighted to invite you, the readers of the journal, to contribute papers that deal with nutrient intake and its regulation or with the nutritional status of breastfed infants. How do breastfed infants regulate their milk intake? Can the mother influence, in either the positive or negative direction, the infant's milk intake? Can a breastfed infant be overfed? Can twin infants be breastfed satisfactorily? Are nutritional deficiencies possible in breastfed infants, and if so, which deficiencies are these? Can nutritional deficiencies be transmitted from the mother to the infant? Should working mothers express milk to be fed when they are not around, or should/could formula be fed when the mother is not around? Does a mother trying to lose weight have enough milk?
I therefore invite readers to contribute papers related to issues pertaining to breastfeeding. Manuscripts will undergo mild editorial review.
Prof. Dr. Ekhard E. Ziegler
