The purpose of this study is to investigate the associations between human milk nutrients and infants' health outcomes in China.
Human milk components are beneficial to the growth and development of infants, such as phospholipids, gangliosides, sialic acids, choline, oligosaccharide and so on. However, studies on the associations between human milk components and infants' outcomes are limited. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the relationship between Chinese human milk components and the growth and development of infants.
