Dear S. Merish,

Attached as .pdf files please find section 16.6.1 on human milk, derived from the book of Walstra (2006); reference included.

Also attached find the summary of the article  "Macronutrient Analysis of a Nationwide Sample of Donor Breast Milk" with origin and references.

One of the authors, Mrs T Medo,  has a page at Academia.edu.

Best wishes with your reserach,

Yours sincerely,

Janwillem Rouweler

It is also interesting that mother's milk will be the same in most healthy mothers, no matter what they eat. Nature knows what to do.

Are you seeking info related to doing lab work on milk, for a presentation to health workers assisting mothers, for a leaflet for parents? There is a hige amount of material available and the most suitable depends on the purpose and the audience.
