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 the literature. Calcium and zinc concentrations of human milk decreased significantly during the five month study. Moisture, energy, total lipids, protein, and magnesium levels remained fairly constant over the course of lactation.
