Amount: 1 fluid oz (31 grams)
Highlights
1. In general nutrients in mother's milk do not depend on the nutrition of the mother, unless a mother is excessively under nourished.
2. This profile does not reflect the nutrition of colostrums, the thick high calorie milk produced just after giving birth.
3. During feeding, the foremilk is watery followed by hindmilk. This does not reflect the foremilk.
4. The amount of DHA (22:6 omega 3 fatty acid varies from 0.07 to 1% of the total fatty acids. The DHA is also influenced by mother's nutrition.
