Summary

The first few months of life are a critical time for setting the health trajectory of both infants and mothers. It is essential that guidance provided to new families be based on the most rigorous scientific evidence available. Beef serves as a highly nutrient-rich option for lactating women. Plant-based beef products have similar nutrient profiles, and some consumers perceive them as a healthier alternative to traditional beef. This study aims to understand the different effects that beef and plant-based beef have on breastmilk composition, maternal glycemic control, maternal intake and satiety, and infant intake. Understanding the differences between beef and plant-based beef can help parents make informed decisions about optimal nutrition for their infants and themselves.
