The functional role of milk for the developing neonate is an area of great interest, and a significant amount of research has been done. However, a lot of work remains to fully understand the complexities of milk, and the variations imposed through genetics. It has previously been shown that both secretor (Se) and Lewis blood type (Le) status impacts the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) content of human milk. While some studies have compared the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se+ and Se- women, none have reported on the non-HMO milk metabolome of Se- and Le- mothers.

The impact of breast milk feeding on susceptibility to asthma in childhood is highly controversial, due in part to failure of the majority of studies in the...

In our study, we aimed to examine early infant feeding and adiposity risk in a longitudinal cohort from birth to young adulthood using new as well as...

Food allergy can have significant effects on morbidity and quality of life and can be costly in terms of medical visits and treatments.

Findings suggest that TGF-Beta in milk may influence the development of immunological outcomes in offspring.

Breastfeeding is recommended for all infants irrespective of atopic heredity, although epidemiological studies provide conflicting results in this debate.

Early nutrition in infancy may influence later child health outcomes including overweight through 'programming'.

The aim was to review the use of supplements during lactation and to document the use of nutritional supplements in a cohort of breastfeeding mothers.

Breastfeeding has been associated with multiple developmental advantages for the infant; however, there have also been a number of studies that find...

Modern societies are challenged by "wicked problems" - by definition, those that are difficult to define, multi-casual and hard to treat.
