title: Human milk beyond one year post-partum: lower content of protein, calcium, and saturated very long-chain fatty acids.
abstract: Maternal milk feeding for more than 1 year is encouraged by many health care authorities. We demonstrate that human milk beyond 1 year of lactation had a small but significantly lower concentration of protein, calcium, and long-chain saturated fatty acids compared with human milk at 3 months after delivery.
