Abstract Background Human milk composition varies over time within an individual mother as well between lactating mothers due to several factors including maternal health, diet, and nutritional status. Therefore, improving nutrition status during gestation breastfeeding is crucial for the health of both infants. Diet can enhance oxidant-antioxidant balance human milk. This study aimed investigate association with dietary patterns identified by using principal component analysis. Method cross-sectional included 350 women ages 20 35 years. The intakes in were estimated a validated food frequency questionnaire, which 65 items. samples was assessed ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2, 2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs), Ellman’s assay. concentration total protein, calcium, triglyceride also measured commercial kits. Result Two predominant recognized that we defined healthy unhealthy pattern. There higher levels DPPH thiol from third tertile (highest adherence) pattern compared first (lowest adherence; p < 0.05). Milk calcium significantly lower versus ( P In multivariate multinomial logistic regression analyses adjusted mother’s age, body mass index (BMI), energy intake, infant’s sex, adherence associated (OR = 1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01, 1.80) 1.21, CI: 1.10, 1.50). On other correlated low 1.29; 95%CI: 1.09, 1.59) 1.28; 1.11, 1.55). Conclusion Our findings demonstrated pattern, consumption green vegetables, fruits mothers.
