Polyamine levels in breast milk are associated with mothers' dietary intake and are higher in preterm than full‐term human milk and formulas

Abstract

Dietary intake of polyamines has an impact on the content in breast milk. The difference between human milk after preterm and term delivery might be considered when using donor human milk for preterm infants. The corresponding formulas had lower contents. Further studies are important for determining the relationship between tissue growth and maturation and optimal intake.
