Lactoferrin (Lf) is the major whey protein in milk with multiple beneficial health effects, including direct anti-microbial activities, anti-inflammatory effects and iron transporter. Iron homeostasis in the foetus, the neonate and preterm infant is crucial for adequate growth and development. Lf oral supplementation in human preterm infants has been shown to reduce the incidence of sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis. In preclinical models of antenatal stress and perinatal brain injury bovine Lf protected the developing brain from neuronal loss, improved connectivity, increased neurotrophic factors and decreased inflammation. It also supported brain development and cognition. Further, Lf could prevent preterm delivery, through a reduction of pro-inflammatory factors and inhibition of premature cervix maturation. We review here the latest research on lactoferrin in the field of neonatology.
