“…Lactoferrin is another key example of functional efficiency as it aids in iron absorption, provides a significant proportion of digested amino acids, and provides immunoprotection by promoting epithelial growth and restricting bacterial access to iron (27, 28). Digested milk fat globules yield monoglycerides and medium- and long-chain fatty acids with additive antimicrobial properties (32), and undigested milk fat globules function as vehicles for small proportions of sIgA (33). …”

Synopsis Worldwide, breastfeeding saves the lives of infants and reduces their disease burden. Breastfeeding also reduces the disease burden for mothers. This article examines who chooses to breastfeed and for how long in the American context. It also reviews the latest evidence about the consequences of breastfeeding for the health of both the infant and mother. The results of this review provide support for current national and international recommendations that support breastfeeding.

“…Breastfeeding decreases the amount of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, and it is suggested that lipids play a role in the antimicrobial defense in addition to proteins (lysozyme and lactoferrin) in the milk. 21,22 Meibomian lipids, like skin lipids, are a complex mixture of nonpolar and polar lipids. These include wax esters; cholesteryl esters; diesters; mono-, di-, and triglycerides; cholesterol; and fatty acids.…”
