Background/Objectives: Breast milk is a complex fluid crucial for infant development, nutrition, and immunological neurodevelopmental support. Recent findings suggest that factors regarding mental health, such as stress, anxiety, postpartum depression (PPD), may influence the composition of breast milk. This review aims to synthesize current knowledge relationship between mother’s state biochemical profile human milk, focusing mainly on nutrients, hormones, immune factors, microbiota. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed Web Science using predefined keywords related psychological composition. Studies involving validated assessment tools only subjects were included, accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Results: Findings indicated maternal stress PPD are associated alterations Elevated cortisol changes melatonin prolactin levels have been observed. Immune components, secretory immunoglobulin transforming growth factor beta 2, exhibit variable responses depending type duration. Lower concentrations docosahexaenoic acid polyunsaturated fatty observed among mothers diagnosed depression. Additionally, distress infants’ gut microbiota composition, potentially affecting long-term health outcomes. Conclusions: The plays an essential role shaping Understanding these associations highlights need support during period optimize development. Future research should focus molecular mechanisms underlying potential interventions mitigate adverse effects.
