Microbial Composition of Breast Milk Collected From Healthy Turkish Women
- Conditions
- Microbial Community in Breast Milk
- Registration Number
- NCT04072627
- Lead Sponsor
- Hacettepe University
- Brief Summary
Breast milk is an optimal source of nutrients for newborns as well as a potential source of bacteria for the intestinal microbiota. However, there are limited number of studies evaluating the relationship between maternal nutrition, breast milk and neonatal intestinal microbiota.
- Detailed Description
The study was conducted on a total of 20 healthy women following at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Gülhane Education and Research Hospital in Ankara Health Sciences University. Sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, breastfeeding characteristics were evaluated in the third trimester of the women who underwent routine prenatal care. Breast milk samples were obtained at 16.day postpartum during lactation.
