The objective of this study is to determine the suitability of lactocytes derived from human breast milk for gene expression analysis, and to explore whether there are any correlations between gene expression and the micronutrient composition of breast milk.
Participants will be included in the study if they are willing to express milk and if their child is between 2 weeks and 6 months old. Participants' feeding practices (exclusive breastfeeding/non-exclusive breastfeeding) and micronutrient supplementation will be recorded. On the day of donation, child's age, the health status of both the mother and child (sick/not sick), the time of sample collection, and the number of feeding sessions that have taken place since midnight will be recorded.
