Exploratory Analysis of Factors Contributing to Breast Milk Composition
Dr. Hourigan and her team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) study how pregnancy and breastfeeding shape breast milk's immune, nutritional, and microbiome qualities. While breast milk is known to be the best nutrition for babies, there's still much more to learn. They invite pregnant and breastfeeding women to participate in this research study. You can help! The study design involves multiple visits during pregnancy, lactation, and up to two months after breastfeeding stops. During visits, stool, blood, saliva, and breast milk (if breastfeeding) will be collected, with an option to mail in samples.
