Factors That May Affect Breast Milk Macronutrient and Energy Content

Publisher Copyright: © 2025 by the authors.; This review aimed to be comprehensive and to critically analyze the factors that may affect the macronutrient and energy content of breast milk. Systematic reviews were prioritized, even though other types of literature reviews on the subject, as well as studies not included in these reviews, were included.

Sexual Dimorphism in Preterm Milk

Introduction: Several factors can affect the composition of a mother’s milk, including the infant’s sex, gestational age, and single or twin delivery.
