Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the changes of the breast milk proteome from four individual mothers over a six month lactation period by shotgun proteomic techniques, because a comprehensive understanding of the human milk proteome may lead to better understanding of the needs of infants. This may contribute to the improvement of infant formula.
