title: [Infant feeding: an update].
abstract: The main aspects of infant feeding are studied specially LC-PUFAs and free nucleotides. LC-PUFAs are studied from the ontogenic and phylogenic points of view, specially its relations to nervous system and as origin of prostaglandins, leukotriens and thrombohexanes. Regarding free nucleotides its function as well as its capacity to activate enzymes of metabolism of LC-PUFAs are studied. Finally the need of giving intermediate elements of LC-PUFAs (DHA, AA) in prematures and normal newborns is discussed.
