Breast Milk in Obese Mothers

Recent research suggests that the composition of breast milk in normal-weight mothers differs from that of overweight or obese mothers, potentially influencing the risk of childhood obesity. Studies indicate that the milk of overweight and obese mothers tends to contain higher levels of fats (lipids) and sugars (monosaccharides and sugar alcohols), which may be linked to an increased risk of early childhood obesity. These differences in milk composition also appear to become more pronounced as the duration of lactation progresses.

It is important to note, however, that current findings are based on associations rather than direct causation. Breastfeeding should continue to be strongly promoted for all mothers, as breast milk, regardless of maternal weight, remains a vital source of nutrients that support infant development, cognitive function, gut health, and immune function. Moreover, breastfeeding provides health benefits for mothers, including reduced risks of obesity, diabetes, and breast cancer.

The focus should therefore be on preconception health. Women planning to conceive are encouraged to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity, which can contribute to better outcomes for both mother and child.

Once again I am very disappointed the authorities did not consider my proposals. I am no one, but I believe that with the same budget far more people would have benefitted in a fair way without any discrimination of age and choice of activity!
