“…There are few and specific medical conditions that contraindicate absolutely breastfeeding, including some metabolic disorders and infectious diseases [17] [18]. Among infections, the two only conditions with enough evidence that support avoidance of breastfeeding are infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1 or 2) [19] and human T-cell lymphotrophic virus (HTLV I or II) [20].…”

Multiple interventions have been designed to decrease mortality and disability in children. Among these, breastfeeding is the most cost effective intervention for protecting children against diarrhea and all causes of mortality. Human milk is uniquely suited to the human infant, both in its nutritional composition and in the nonnutritive bioactive factors that promote survival and healthy development. Suboptimal breastfeeding has been linked with numerous adverse child health outcomes including increased incidence of diarrhea and pneumonia. This review provides an update regarding recent studies on the effect of breastfeeding on diarrhea morbidity and mortality in children in developing countries, describes major human milk components responsible for this protective effect (oligosaccharides, secretory immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, bacterial microbiota, etc.), and highlights areas for future research in this topic. Breastfeeding promotion remains an intervention of enormous public health potential to decrease global mortality and promote better growth and neurodevelopment in children.

“…The benefits of breastfeeding are widely accepted [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], and HM is considered to be the gold standard for formula milk (FM). However, exclusive breastfeeding is not always possible, and breastfeeding is contraindicated for certain medical conditions [10]. Consequently, there have been many attempts to produce FM that resembles HM as closely as possible.…”

Although many studies have been conducted on the components present in human breast milk (HM), research on the differences of chemical metabolites between HM, bovine milk (BM) and formula milk (FM) is limited. This study was to explore the chemical diversity of HM, BM and FM by metabolomic approaches. GC-TOFMS and UPLC-QTOFMS were applied to investigate the metabolic compositions in 30 HM samples, 20 FM samples and 20 BM samples. Metabolite profiling identified that most of the non-esterified fatty acids, which reflected the hydrolysis of triglycerides, were much more abundant in HM than those in FM and BM, except for palmitic acid and stearic acid. The levels of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) intermediates were much higher in FM and BM than those in HM. Each type of milk also showed its unique composition of free amino acids and free carbohydrates. In conclusion, higher levels of non-esterified saturated fatty acids with aliphatic tails <16 carbons, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids and lower levels of TCA intermediates are characteristic of HM, as compared with FM and BM. The content of non-esterified fatty acids may reflect the hydrolysis of triglycerides in different milk types.

“…Even though breastfeeding is optimal for infants, existence of certain conditions may not be in the best interest of the infant and may contraindicate breastfeeding (AAP, ; Lawrence, ). In such cases, where the sole source of nutrition is not available to the infant, alternative strategies to feed them have to be devised.…”
