Breastfeeding and Health Benefits for the Mother-Infant Dyad: A Perspective on Human Milk Microbiota

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 13

Published: Feb. 6, 2025

Background:: Current scientific research on breastfeeding provides substantial evidence of its numerous positive impacts, not only for children in both the short and long term but also mothers who engage breastfeeding. Summary:: In addition to gold standard effect human milk infant nutrition, is associated with a lower incidence infections, reduced infant/childhood mortality, necrotizing enterocolitis, obesity during childhood later life, better cognitive performance, higher IQ score. For mothers, prolongs lactational amenorrhea, may facilitate postpartum weight loss, reduce breast ovarian cancers cardiovascular diseases. Breastfeeding can play beneficial role preventing antibiotic resistance, which global concern across all age groups. Implementing exclusive infants has potential enhance child development decrease healthcare expenses, leading economic savings individual families society. Human biologically active food that functions as prebiotic probiotic because oligosaccharides composition microbiota, act synergistic synbiotics.

Maternal kefir intake during lactation impacts the breast milk and gut microbiota of the Wistar rat’s offspring

International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 15

Environmental factors can play fundamental role in health childhood and adulthood during critical developmental periods like lactation. The maternal intake of probiotics kefir lactation could benefit newborns' intestinal health. This study aimed to evaluate the effects on bacterial breast milk composition gut microbiota offspring Wistar male rats at weaning. Lactating their pups were divided into four groups based litter size intake. Sequencing 16S rRNA gene revealed predominance Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteriota phyla. Offspring exhibited clustering tendencies with varying genus abundance. Additionally, led increased levels butyrate acid faeces (> +30%, p > 0.05). These findings show that period be a window opportunity program through modulation.

Maternal consumption of urbanized diet compromises early-life health in association with gut microbiota

Gut Microbes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1)

Published: April 2, 2025

Urbanization has significantly transformed dietary habits worldwide, contributing to a globally increased burden of non-communicable diseases and altered gut microbiota landscape. However, it is often overlooked that the adverse effects these changes can be transmitted from mother offspring during early developmental stages, subsequently influencing predisposition various later in life. This review aims delineate detrimental maternal urban-lifestyle diet (urbanized diet) on early-life health assembly, provide mechanistic insights how urbanized mediates mother-to-offspring transfer bioactive substances both intrauterine extrauterine thus affects fetal neonatal development. Moreover, we also further propose framework for developing microbiome-targeted precision nutrition strategies specifically pregnant lactating women. The establishment such knowledge help develop proactive preventive measures beginning life, ultimately reducing long-term risk disease improving public outcomes.

The Influence of Maternal Lifestyle Factors on Human Breast Milk Microbial Composition: A Narrative Review

Biomedicines, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(11), P. 2423 - 2423

Published: Oct. 22, 2024

Human breast milk (HBM) is considered the gold standard for infant nutrition due to its optimal nutrient profile and complex composition of cellular non-cellular components. Breastfeeding positively influences newborn's gut microbiota health, reducing risk conditions like gastrointestinal infections chronic diseases (e.g., allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity). Research has revealed that HBM contains beneficial microbes aid maturation through mechanisms antimicrobial production pathogen exclusion. The can be affected by several factors, including gestational age, delivery mode, medical treatments, lactation stage, as well maternal lifestyle habits diet, physical activity, sleep quality, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress level). Particularly, factors play a significant role in shaping directly modulating microbial or influencing enteromammary pathway. This narrative review current findings summarized how microbiota.
