Objective To investigate the correlation of trace elements in maternal blood, breast milk and infant blood.

Methods A tomic absorption spectrographic method was used to measure blood [calcium (Ca), ferrum (Fe), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), copper(Cu)] natural delivery 250 cases, then analyze postpartum 42 days.

Results There were statistically significant differences between (P<0.05). There a positive Ca, Fe [Ca (r=0.221, P=0.047), (r=0.107, P=0.043)]; had (r=0.139 P=0.035); milk, but no Mg.

Conclusions There gradient days. It can keep certain percentage element contribute growth development infant. The regular determination during pregnancy women their direct balanced diet advocate breastfeeding. also prevent lack calcium, iron, other infant.
