Summary

Breast milk is universally recognized as the best food for newborns. Studies have scientifically shown that breastfeeding provides optimal nutrients for infants, strengthens their immune system, and improves mother-and-child bonding. Demonstrating health benefits of pomegranate consumption on infant health could lead to greater incentive for women to breast feed. The purpose of this research study is to determine whether pomegranate metabolites (products produced by breakdown) is secreted into breastmilk and whether they have an effect on breast-fed infants who are born vaginally.
