Biochemical features of scanty milk supply

ABSTRACT

Insufficient and/or thin watery breast milk secretion is a very common concept among mothers. This study was carried out in order to evaluate how far this claim holds true. The different constituents of breast milk including milk protein, fat, lactose, sodium and potassium, were within normal. The growth of these babies was also within normal limits and they kept growing satisfactorily for the first 6 months
