Abstract
Our knowledge of the composition of breast milk, how composition changes during lactation, and the nutritional and physiologic significance of the specific components is steadily increasing. It has also become increasingly accepted that, when infant formula is manufactured, the nutrient composition of breast milk cannot serve as a norm, because nutrients are utilized differently from formula. Rather, growth and clinical indexes of breastfed infants should be the guideline for formula-fed infants.Keywords
