Exclusive breastfeeding until the age of six months is the recommended feeding method for all infants. However, this is not possible for every infant. Therefore, a second choice of feeding, as close as possible to the gold standard, is needed. For historical reasons, this has been cow's-milk-based feeding. This paper discusses if this second-choice feeding method should contain intact protein or partially hydrolyzed proteins. The limited data available indicates that mother's milk is relatively rich in bioactive peptides. Whether partially hydrolyzed protein might be a protein source closer to human milk protein content than intact cow's milk needs further research. However, more research on protein and bioactive peptides in mother's milk should be a priority for future scientific development in this field. Results of such research will also provide an answer to the question of which option would be the best second choice for infant feeding if sufficient breast milk is not available.
纯母乳喂养至六个月大是所有婴儿的推荐喂养方式。然而，并非每个婴儿都能做到这一点。因此，需要一种尽可能接近黄金标准的第二选择喂养方式。由于历史原因，这种喂养方式一直是基于牛奶的。本文讨论了这种第二选择的喂养方法是否应该包含完整的蛋白质或部分水解的蛋白质。现有有限的数据表明，母乳中相对富含生物活性肽。部分水解蛋白是否可能成为一种比完整牛奶更接近人乳蛋白质含量的蛋白质来源，需要进一步研究。然而，对于该领域未来的科学发展，应优先研究母乳中的蛋白质和生物活性肽。如果没有足够的母乳，这些研究的结果也将回答哪种选择是婴儿喂养的最佳第二选择的问题。
