Gut microbiota responses to complementary food sources differ by milk feeding type

Key Points

Infants show different gut microbiota responses based on their milk feeding type, indicating dietary impact.
Heights sensitivity to complementary food sources was observed in formula-fed infants compared to those breastfed.
The study investigates how solid food sources contribute to variations in the infant microbiome influenced by feeding methods.
Findings suggest implications for precision nutrition strategies in early life to support optimal infant health.

Abstract

Solid food source is a previously under-investigated driver of infant microbiome variability, with effects contingent on milk feeding. Human milk may buffer against dietary choices, whereas formula-fed infants show heightened sensitivity to complementary food source, informing precision nutrition in early life.
