Human Milk in Infant Nutrition and HealthRalph Rodney Howell, Frank H. Morriss, Larry K. Pickering Abstract: This text summarizes the outcome of research which sought to define certain characteristics of human milk that exert specific beneficial effects on newborn infants and to discover the mechanisms for the production of the effects. The latest information on the composition and physiologic aspects of human milk are presented. Topics covered include the measurement of the major macronutrients in human milk during the course of lactation, physical-chemical properties, viral transmission, and major chemical/environmental contaminants. The current status of human milk banking is also considered. |
