Daily variation of macronutrient concentrations in mature human milk over 3 weeks

Abstract Human milk (HM) composition is known to be highly variable, both between individuals and across the duration of lactation. It is less clear, however, to what extent fat, lactose and protein concentrations in HM change daily over shorter time periods in mature HM, and no studies have evaluat...
