Amazingly, the nutrients in breastmilk continuously change to match the growth and development of a baby throughout its infancy.
Every mum produces her own unique milk because her diet can influence the amount of nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, B-complex vitamins, iodine, essential fatty acids, and the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid DHA. It is important that mums follow a healthy diet and stay well hydrated while breastfeeding for adequate milk production.
