A Dietary Intervention to Modify Breast Milk Content in Obese Lactating Women
July 18, 2023 updated by: Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute
This study is a nutrition research study designed to look at how healthy meals can influence the content of breast milk.
Moms will be provided with meals that follow a Mediterranean diet pattern for 4 weeks.
The goal of the study is to see if breast milk content changes over the 4 week period.
The infants of the moms will also be included in the study to measure any changes in growth.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in breast milk fat concentration by mid-infrared spectroscopy
Time Frame: The change in breast milk fat concentration will be assessed by mid-infrared spectroscopy by measuring the concentration before the participants begin the dietary intervention, 2 weeks into the intervention, and at the end of the 4-week intervention.
|
The primary aim is to test whether the dietary intervention modifies the breast milk fat concentration of obese mothers.
|
The change in breast milk fat concentration will be assessed by mid-infrared spectroscopy by measuring the concentration before the participants begin the dietary intervention, 2 weeks into the intervention, and at the end of the 4-week intervention.
