Breast milk (What is usually not in textbooks)

Abstract

All my professional life I have been dealing with developmental physiology, so it is logical that I had to meet the question and importance of breast milk (especially when I gave a whole chapter of my research to the issues of nutrition and CNS development). It is not just a question of composition-quality and quantity but also the importance of individual components for the development of the newborn.

Important are also the relations that arise during this process (breastfeeding) for the developmental trends, and for their optimization. Of course, these are also factors that can pose real risks.

I find it useful to present readers with only certain aspects and questions. I know that common textbooks bring only more general information on this topic.

In addition, in recent decades there have been comparatively large progress in research on the breast milk components.
