Popis: Breastfeeding benefits both infants and mothers. Nutrients in mother's milk help protect infants from multiple diseases including infections, cancers, diabetes, gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases. We performed literature mining on 31,496 mother's-milk-related abstracts from PubMed and the results suggest the need for individualized mother's milk fortification and proper maternal supplementations (e.g. probiotics, vitamin D), because mother's milk compositions (e.g. fatty acids) vary according to maternal diet and responses to infection in mothers and/or infants. We review at details the variability observed in mother's milk compositions and its possible health effects in infants. We also review the effects of storage practices on mother's milk nutrients, recommended durations for mother's milk intake and the associated health benefits.
