Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primary outcome is the macronutrient composition of breast milk in Chinese lactating mothers from 0 to 270 days after delivery. | 0-270 days after delivery | Macronutrient composition includes calories (kcal/ml), total protein, fat and carbohydrate (lactose) content in breast milk. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Other nutrient composition in breast milk of 0-270 days after delivery. | 0-270 days after delivery. | Beside macronutrient composition, all major minerals, vitamins will be analyzed. In addition, functional compounds, such as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), total/free amino acids, lipid profiles, and microbiota, will be analyzed as well. |
| Dietary pattern of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. | 0-270 days after delivery. | A one-time standardized 24-hour food recall survey, is utilized to access dietary pattern of subjects. |
| Nutrients intake and adequacy of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. | 0-270 days after delivery | A one-time standardized 24-hour food recall survey, is utilized to access nutrient intakes and adequacy (by comparing existing local and international RDAs and DRIs databases). |
| Nutrition supplements intake status of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. | 0-270 days after delivery. | A one-time food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), designed to access nutritional supplement usage, is being utilized. |
