Breast Milk Nutrients

Breast milk has the perfect balance of carbohydrates, fats (lipids), and proteins for human infants.

In addition, it provides antibodies, oligosaccharides, lactoferrin, lysozyme, growth factors, bifidobacteria, and other non-nutritive substances that protect against infection and promote growth.

These non-nutritive substances are especially concentrated in colostrum, the yellowish fluid produced in first few days postpartum. Mature human milk gradually replaces colostrum as nursing progresses.

If a mother cannot breastfeed, or chooses to not do so, she may feed her infant with a formula made from cow's milk or soy protein isolate, with assurance that the major nutrients will be provided by either.

Infants younger than 12 months should not be fed unmodified cow's milk.
