Nutrient composition of human milk and dietary influence during the first six months of lactation
Mature human milk composition was determined from monthly samples collected from five, healthy, Caucasian, lactating women. A 72-hour dietary record was kept monthly from the twelfth week of pregnancy to the sixth month postpartum. Nutrient content of milk samples was similar to values reported in …
