| Résumé : | Human breast milk is recognized as the optimal infant feeding. Human milk contains the nutrients necessary to support the infant's development [1-3]. Breast milk also contains components that protect young children against various infectious diseases and, as more recently described, constituents necessary to support the development of the infant's immune system (ontogeny) [1-3]. This includes various antimicrobial substances, constituents that promote tolerance and priming of the infant immune system, as well as anti-inflammatory components. It has recently become clearer that protection provided through breast milk against some infections extends well beyond weaning [4]. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York. |
