I does proper infant nutrition help prevent future diseases?

And specifically what type of diseases are they?

Thank you so much.

1. There are several diseases related to lack of certain nutrients (rickets is one) or lack of adequate caloric intake. Feeding a baby properly will help ensure that they develop their body systems properly and get the best chance at growing to their potential.

3. Wow, this sounds like a research paper. This is going to be something that you are going to have to research. Breastmilk works with the infants body to protect it and kill bacteria. Each illness is protected by certain compounds found in the breastmilk.

For instance = Breastmilk and Obesity

The macronutrient composition of breast milk (i.e., protein, fat, carbohydrate) and bioactive substances not present in formula may influence metabolic programming and regulation of body fatness and growth rate. Higher insulin levels and lower leptin levels have been reported in formula-fed infants compared with breast-fed babies.

Breastmilk and ear infections
The antibodies in breastmilk line the mucosa of the respiratory tract and prevent invasion and multiplication of possibly infectious bacteria, and viruses. Cultures of the throats and noses of babies who are breastfed show fewer cultures of non typable H.

The list of diseases is long. You can find this list by doing any google search on breastmilk

4. Breastfeeding (which is the ideal infant nutrition) helps prevent future diseases by helping the baby develop properly in the first place and strengthening their immune system. It prevents things like ear infections, cancer, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and probably some we don't even know about yet. It may help prevent diseases in other ways too, but we have yet to discover all the ways it works.
