To assess infant and young child feeding practices from a local pediatrician’s perspective. Patients and methods. The empirical research based on a questionnaire survey of 50 local pediatric specialists in Voronezh children’s clinics was conducted. The questionnaire contained questions related to the issues of nutrition for children aged 0–3 years. Results. The analysis of survey results showed that the promotion of breastfeeding begins mostly during the prenatal period (60%). The questions related to artificial feeding arise among mothers from the birth of a child to 3 months of age (up to 50%); thereafter, their frequency decreases significantly (to 12%). Pediatricians do not always have enough time to talk to parents about principles for introducing complementary foods. Parents’ engagement in their child’s nutrition decreases after 1 year of age. Conclusion. Most respondents believe that the developed computer program will help to organize an adequate dietary plan for infants and young children. It will reduce the amount of time that specialists spend on pediatric nutrition counseling and draw parents’ attention to the issues of early childhood nutrition.

To study the effect of nutrition and psychopathological traits on the development of eating behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Patients and methods. A comparative analysis of the features of nutrition and eating behavior in 40 children with ASD and 40 neurotypical controls was performed. Two patient groups were comparable in age (3–8 years). The methods used to assess nutrition included retrospective dietary recall, analysis of the frequency of consumption of specific foods or meals, and a 24-hour dietary recall survey. For retrospective analysis of children’s nutrition, we developed a questionnaire for parents, considering the characteristics of eating behavior in both children with ASD and neurotypical controls. Results. The introduction of first complementary foods in children with ASD did not differ significantly from neurotypical controls. The first peculiarities of eating behavior in children with ASD began to manifest themselves when trying to expand the variety of complementary foods. In 57.5% of children with ASD, clear disorders of eating behavior coincided with the onset of regression in neuropsychological development. There appeared food selectivity (in 72.5% of children with ASD), picky eating (in 22.5%), gagging at the sight, consistency, and color of food (in 42.5%) and a limited range of foods (in 70%), which was practically impossible to expand. The nutrition of children in the control group was diverse. They were interested in new tastes and consistency of foods, and food selectivity was noticed only in 16.7% of cases and was not so categorical. An attempt to influence the health status of children with ASD, primarily to reduce psychomotor agitation, was manifested in the use of elimination diets (gluten-free and/or casein-free) in 37.5% of children with ASD, which demonstrated a positive effect in most children. However, the indications for their use and duration were commonly not coordinated with a physician, which created a risk of deterioration in children’s health. Conclusion. Eating disorders are not always noticed by specialists in time and require special attention, as they can be both symptoms of ASD and contribute to disease aggravation. Refusal of children with ASD from previously consumed foods, selectivity, and picky eating commonly coincide with regression in neuropsychological development. The use of gluten-free and/or casein-free elimination diets in children with ASD should be justified.

This review presents data on the qualitative and quantitative changes in various organic and inorganic compounds in breast milk depending on the degree of prematurity of the newborn. In preterm birth and early onset of lactation, activation of the sialic acid production system may result in increased production of sialylated oligosaccharides involved in nervous system development. There are also contradictions in the information concerning the antioxidant content in breast milk. Some reports suggest that the milk of women who gave birth prematurely contains more antioxidants than that of women who gave birth at term. In contrast, other studies demonstrate a lower overall antioxidant function of breast milk in the early stages of lactation.

To date, NCGS has been widely described in adults, whereas there is little information about this pathology in pediatric practice. This article presents a clinical case of NCGS in a 6-year-old girl who was admitted to the gastroenterology department of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Pediatrics (Republic of Uzbekistan) with complaints of abdominal pain, bloating, weight loss, liquid stools, headaches, and fatigue. The complaints appeared 5 months before hospitalization. Antibodies to tissue transglutaminase IgA were within reference ranges, specific IgE antibodies to wheat and gluten were not elevated. A biopsy from the distal duodenum revealed Marsh-Oberhuber 1 lesions. The patient was switched to a gluten-free diet (GFD) with suspected NCGS. At week 4 of the diet, an improvement was noted, but abdominal bloating persisted. An intolerance to components such as fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) was suspected. The use of the FODMAP diet significantly improved the condition. The reintroduction of gluten after 6 weeks resulted in a recurrence of symptoms, confirming the diagnosis of NCGS. Given that the number of gluten-related diseases is increasing, and not much is known about NCGS, we decided to present this case to raise awareness and questions regarding diagnosis, the need for specific monitoring, and treatment.
