Human milk phospholipids across lactation stages and their associations with infant neurodevelopment: a prospective cohort study in China (opens in new tab)

IntroductionEarly-life nutrition is a key determinant of infant neurodevelopment. Phospholipids (PLs) in human milk contribute to neuronal membrane structure and signaling, yet population-based evidence linking milk PLs to early neurodevelopment remains limited. This study aimed to examine dynamic changes in breast milk PLs across lactation and their associations with infant neurodevelopment at 6 months.MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, 50 mother–infant dyads were recruited at Peking U...
