Summary

Human milk profile is unique and diet exerts a pivot role in determing its composition.

As a rule, nursing mothers do not receive specific nutritional indications aimed at improving the lipid profile of milk, despite the scientific evidence in favor of the importance of DHA in the infant's diet.

The research aims to determine the effect of a dietary counseling specifically targeted at increasing the intake of fatty acids ω3 (DHA, EPA and ALA) on the lipid profile of breast milk, in order to identify effective and viable nutrition claims for breastfeeding women.
