Explain the Human Milk Composition and Infant Growth and Development?

This sub-section deals with composition of human milk, compares human milk with cow's milk and why human milk is preferred and recommended for infants. We will also examine the impact of mother's diet and nutritional status on the quantity (volume) and quality (composition) of human milk. Nature has designed milk to be species-specific. Thus, human milk is unique to the needs of the young homosapiens. The value of human milk for the health and growth of the baby is undisputed and rarely does breastfeeding need to be discouraged.
