From Mother to Baby: The Role of Human Milk Vitamins in Infant Body Development and Breast Milk Jaundice-An Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: The vitamins in infants who are exclusively breastfed before 6 months of age mainly come from breastfeeding. Whether or not dynamic vitamin concentrations in human milk were affected by maternal factors and their roles in infant growth and diseases has yet to be determined. Using data from a tertiary hospital for 46 couples of fit mothers and infants aged 1 to 3 months in China, we collected mothers' human milk as samples for UPLC-MS/MS sequencing evaluation of vitamins. Multiple regression and binomial logistic regression were used in analyses that controlled for confounding. The content of vitamin B1 was significantly higher at 105 to 119 days postpartum than it was at 30 to 44 days after delivery (p < 0.05). Additionally, vitamin C was related to infant weight-for-age (β =
