Description
The FDA has recently approved human milk analyzers for use in healthcare settings. While this is very exciting, it also brings up a lot of questions. When should we sample? How do we minimize interference with breastfeeding? What do these results mean? With words like “high and low” and “good and bad” circulating in healthcare, we need to be especially careful with our messaging surrounding human milk analysis results. Let’s take a deep dive into understanding the normal physiologic ranges of human milk in terms of energy, fat, protein, and carbohydrate. We will also look at case studies and discuss how milk analysis can impact nutrition interventions in the health care setting.
