. Proper nutrition is the key factor of growth and development of the child. Early artificial feeding and irrational introduction of complementary food is one of the problems of infants leading to development of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, impaired immunological protection and manifestation of atopic diseases. We described the effects of the main pre-biotic components of functional nutrition in children of early age. Also we demonstrated the importance of prebiotics for the formation of intestinal microflora, including the development of local mucosal homeostasis due to immunomodulatory action.
