Human milk (HM) appetite hormones and macronutrients may mediate satiety in breastfed infants. This study investigated associations between maternal adiposity concentrations of HM leptin, adiponectin, protein lactose, whether these the relationship body mass index percentage fat (%FM) a breastfeeding population change over first year lactation. Lactating women (n = 59) provided samples 283) at 2nd, 5th, 9th and/or 12th month Concentrations total lactose were measured. Maternal %FM was...
Human milk is a complex and variable ecosystem fundamental to the development of newborns. This study aimed investigate relationships between human oligosaccharides (HMO) bacterial profiles infant body composition. samples (n = 60) were collected at two months postpartum. Infant maternal composition was measured with bioimpedance spectroscopy. assessed using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing 19 HMOs quantitated high-performance liquid chromatography. Relative abundance taxa significantly...
Background: Whilst it is inconvenient and time-intensive, predominantly (PP) exclusively pumping (EP) mothers rely on breast expression to provide milk for their infants ensure continued supply, yet these populations are poorly understood. Methods: We assessed characterised Western Australian PP (n = 93) regarding 24 h production (MP) infant intake demographics, perinatal complications breastfeeding difficulties, the frequencies of which were compared with published general population...
Human milk (HM) carbohydrates may affect infant appetite regulation, breastfeeding patterns, and body composition (BC). We investigated relationships between concentrations/calculated daily intakes (CDI) of HM in first year postpartum maternal/term BC, as well parameters. BC dyads (n = 20) was determined at 2, 5, 9, and/or 12 months using ultrasound skinfolds (infants) bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (infants/mothers). Breastfeeding frequency, 24-h intake total (TCH) lactose were...
Human milk (HM) adipokines may influence infant feeding patterns, appetite regulation, and body composition (BC). The associations between concentrations/calculated daily intakes (CDI) of HM in the first 12 months postpartum maternal/term BC, breastfeeding parameters were investigated. BC dyads (n = 20) was measured at 2, 5, 9, and/or with ultrasound skinfolds (infants) bioimpedance spectroscopy (infants/mothers). 24-h intake frequency along whole adiponectin skim leptin (SML WML) CDI...
Human milk (HM) components influence infant feeding patterns and nutrient intake, yet it is unclear how they gastric emptying (GE), a key component of appetite regulation. This study analyzed GE single breastfeed, HM hormones/macronutrients demographics/anthropometrics/body composition term fully breastfed infants (n = 41, 2 and/or 5 mo). Stomach volumes (SV) were calculated from pre-/post-feed ultrasound scans, then repeatedly until the next feed. Feed volume (FV) was measured by test-weigh...

Optimal infant growth is reliant on both the production and intake of sufficient human milk. Some studies, in particular animal models, suggest that multiparous mothers produce a higher yield milk compared to primiparous mothers. The aim this study was examine whether there relationship between successive lactations maternal 24 h intake. Lactating who did not feed commercial formula (n = 22) measured their at 1–6 months postpartum by test-weighing infants for during two consecutive (L1: 3.0...
The Breastfeeding Longitudinal Observational Study of Mothers and kids (BLOSOM) is a single-centre prospective cohort study conducted in Perth (Western Australia) that collected data from 2018 to 2020 aimed investigate the mechanisms by which human milk affects infant growth, health, body composition [...]
Background/Objectives: The causes of low milk supply are multifactorial, including factors such as gene mutations, endocrine disorders, and infrequent removal. These affect the functional capacity mammary gland and, potentially, concentrations components. This study aimed to investigate differences in composition between mothers with normal develop predictive machine learning models for identifying supply. Methods: Twenty-four-hour production measurements were conducted using test-weigh...
Background The oral microbiome of breastfed infants is distinct from that formula-fed infants. However, breastfeeding characteristics, such as time spent (min/24 h), frequency (number breastfeeds per day), and human milk intake (ml/day) vary significantly between dyads.
Purpose of review This examines the complex relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and breastfeeding outcomes, integrating recent evidence on maternal health benefits, milk composition, clinical support strategies. Understanding these relationships is important as GDM affects approximately 14% pregnancies worldwide, with rates continuing to rise alongside increasing obesity age. Recent findings Women who breastfeed for longer periods after show significant improvements in...
Background/Objectives: Optimal infant growth is reliant on the sufficient intake of human milk. Studies in animal models speculate that multiparous mothers produce a higher milk yield compared to primiparous mothers. We aimed examine if there are relationships between consecutive lactations and demographics both maternal 24 h production (MP) (MI). Methods: Lactating 1–6 months postpartum (n = 36; 25 fully breastfeeding (FBF), 11 supplementing with commercial formula (partly (PBF))...
Breastfeeding has been implicated in the establishment of infant appetite regulation, feeding patterns and body composition (BC). A holistic approach is required to elucidate relationships between maternal BC contributing factors, such as breastfeeding parameters. Associations breastfed term (n = 20) parameters during first 12 months lactation were investigated. was measured at 2, 5, 9 and/or postpartum with ultrasound skinfolds (US; infants only) bioimpedance spectroscopy (infants mothers)....
