Infant nutrition – helping the new parent with their unsettled infant – Australian Practice Nurses Association

On completion of this program, participants will be better able to:

1. Describe the differences between A1 and A2 beta-casein type proteins and their role in supporting the nutritional requirements of infants and toddlers.
2. Outline the differences in structure between A1 and A2 beta-casein variants and their differing breakdown during digestion, and how this may affect a baby or toddler.
3. Assist caregivers to select a suitable infant formula for their baby’s needs.
4. Address feeding concerns for caregivers with infants experiencing ‘colic-like symptoms’, and lactose or protein intolerances.
