This study tracked human lactation in Thai mothers, measuring breast milk volume and composition to understand infant growth predictors. Findings offer insights into early childhood nutrition and maternal health.

Area of Science:

  • Human lactation research
  • Maternal and child health
  • Nutritional science

Background:

  • Human lactation is crucial for infant nutrition and development.
  • Understanding factors influencing breast milk production is vital for public health.
  • Limited data exists on lactation patterns in specific populations like northern Thai women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify breast milk volume and composition in northern Thai mothers during the first year postpartum.
  • To identify predictors of milk production and their relationship to infant growth.
  • To assess the impact of maternal nutrition and infant feeding practices on child development.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal field study involving 62 northern Thai women in the Chiang Mai Province.

  • Collection of breast milk and supplementary food intake data over six periods in the first year postpartum.
  • Analysis of breast milk and food samples for energy, protein, and bacterial contamination; infant growth and health monitoring.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent recruitment and high data retention (58 of 62 subjects) were achieved.
    • Detailed data on breast milk volume, composition, and infant feeding patterns were collected.
    • The study established a comprehensive dataset for analyzing lactation dynamics and child growth.

    Conclusions:

    • The Chiang Mai lactation project successfully gathered extensive data on human lactation in a specific population.
    • The findings provide a foundation for understanding lactation and its impact on infant development in northern Thailand.
    • This research contributes valuable insights into maternal and child nutrition strategies.
