The proceedings of the first symposium to focus its attention purely on the post-natal period in terms of early life programming. There is much less information currently available than there is for fetal programming, and many new questions raised and numerous areas where further research is needed are highlightedCovers the full range of topics in this area and is organised into chapters which take the reader through the basic biology of early life development; the ways in which breast-milk and breast-feeding might 'programme' these processes by acting as modulators of development; and an examination of the epidemiological evidence that such effects do indeed existHas an international context and perpective and contains previously unpublished data from leading groups in the field worldwideContains synthesis and contants of special lectures on breast milk immunology and on the evolution of human lactation and complementary feeding not available anywhere elseIncludes updates on HIV and breast-feeding, early breastfeeding cessation and infant mortality in low-income countries, and the measurement of trace immune factors in human milk
