Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction in Infants
Non-specific digestive disorders such as constipation and colic are common in infancy; they are usually medically benign and self-limiting. The new Rome V criteria introduce the term “Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction” (DGBI), offering a more intuitive description of the complex relationship between the gut and the brain.
Skincare recommendations for healthy baby skin.
Carefully selected baby care supports healthy skin and your child’s well-being from the very beginning. Less is often more: gentle products, mild cleansing, and targeted care help protect delicate baby skin. The key recommendations focus on safety, skin compatibility, and a loving care routine that fosters closeness and trust.

The Development of the Gut Microbiota
The bacterial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in shaping and maturing the immune system during infancy. In addition to short-term effects, such as the frequency of infections, the development of the gut microbiota also has long-term implications for the onset of conditions such as allergic, metabolic, or inflammatory diseases.

When purée is on the table – useful information about weaning food
In the first six months of a baby’s life, they only need breast milk (or infant milk). From then on, milk alone is not enough to meet their increasing nutritional needs – so complementary feeds are required.

Current sun protection for babies and children.
The delicate skin of babies and children is more sensitive to sunlight than adult skin. Due to the lack of natural sun protection, it is particularly important to protect children's skin from direct sunlight.

Milk feeding in the First Year of Life
Breastfeeding is best for infants. If not exclusively breastfed, they receive an infant formula. The composition of infant formula is regulated by law. A distinction is made between infant and follow-on formula, which may also contain functional ingredients.

Infant defecation – not always an easy business!
An infant‘s digestive system is still immature in the rst few months of life. Changes in stool colour, consistency or frequency may occur without being caused by underlying diseases but can quickly lead to uncertainty among parents.
