Early nutrition in infancy may influence later child health outcomes including overweight through 'programming'.
The aim was to review the use of supplements during lactation and to document the use of nutritional supplements in a cohort of breastfeeding mothers.
The functional role of milk for the developing neonate is an area of great interest, and a significant amount of research has been done. However, a lot of work remains to fully understand the complexities of milk, and the variations imposed through genetics. It has previously been shown that both secretor (Se) and Lewis blood type (Le) status impacts the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) content of human milk. While some studies have compared the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se+ and Se- women, none have reported on the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se- and Le- mothers.
