- Abstract:
The article discusses the health aspects of breast milk. Topics include breast milk's promotion of microbes, such as Bifidobacterium longum biovar infantis (B. longum bv. infantis), which help fight the disease necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the role of oligosaccharides in shaping the infant microbiome, evidence for a breast milk-microbiome connection found by chemists Bruce German and Robert Ward at the University of California, Davis, and probiotic supplements for premature infants.
