Effects of dietary avoidance by lactating mothers on breast milk nutrients composition and infant growth and development
Breast milk is the optimal source of food and fluid for infants in the early postnatal period.Current studies both domestically and internationally demonstrate that while breast milk possesses a certain degree of stability,maternal dietary restrictions can still influence its nutrient content.Fats and proteins are more affected by consumed foods,whereas carbohydrates are less influenced by diet.The relationship of vitamins and minerals with maternal intake requires further research for clarification.Whether maternal dietary avoidance affects the growth and development of exclusively breastfed infants remains to be elucidated.Clinicians and researchers have observed a considerable number of breastfed infants presenting with suspected or confirmed food allergies,leading their mothers to engage in varied levels of dietary restriction.For the mothers of these infants,the implementation of a scientifically informed approach to dietary avoidance necessitates additional research.This includes the identification of specific food items to be avoided,the temporal extent of such avoidance,and its impact for the infants'growth and development,as well as the prognosis of their allergic conditions.
