In matters of infant nutrition, constitution is a (very essential and generally recognized factor. We know well that by constitution we mean the sum of all its biological properties, i.e. morphological, functional and biochemical, since they are conditioned by the plasma and therefore have a hereditary character. However, it must be remembered that constitution is expressed mainly in the organism's ability to respond in one way or another to internal and external stimuli. Thus the state of child development is the result of the summation of two factors - on the one hand germinal rudiments, on the other - the influence of the external environment.
