Breast milk (BM) is a unique product given to the human being by nature to fulfill all requirements of the offspring until it is mature enough to take adult food. Its uniqueness lies in the ability of the mother to produce milk which will vary in quantity, quality and consistency depending on the age of the baby, maturity and timing of the feed 1 . It has not been possible to achieve this with any other type of milk, even with state-of-the-art modifications using the most advanced technology.
