Abstract
Breastfeeding is the gold standard in pediatric nutrition. When it is not possible, desired, or sufficient, infant formulas and foods for specific medical purposes are available, developed to meet special nutritional requirements. These products are manufactured using complex technological processes, under strict quality, hygiene, safety, and international regulations. Unlike other mass-market products (cookies, snacks), they are designed to contribute to children's nutrition. Their formulation includes adaptations in proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, according to the infant's needs.They are recommended in cases of prematurity, allergies, intolerances, digestive or metabolic disorders, or special conditions, and should always be recommended by a healthcare professional. Their correct use ensures the nutrients necessary for proper growth and development, as well as those essential for dietary and nutritional therapy.
