The purpose of this study is to determine whether the acetate, butyrate and propionate concentration in breast milk and to evaluate the possible correlation of these concentrations with maternal diet.

butyrate, acetate and propionate concentration
Time frame: 10 days after delivery and every 30 days until the fifth month after delivery
Relationship between short chain fatty acids in breast milk and maternal diet (amount of fibers in maternal diet and based on this it will evaluate the variations in short chain fatty acids concentration)
Relationship between short chain fatty acids in breast milk and maternal diet will be measured by assessing the amount of fibers in maternal diet and based on this it will evaluate the variations in short chain fatty acids concentration. These assessments will be carried out by using a food diary carefully compiled by mothers before each sampling of breast milk
Time frame: 10 days after delivery and every 30 days until the fifth month after delivery
