- Primary outcome is the macronutrient composition of breast milk in Chinese lactating mothers from 0 to 270 days after delivery. [ Time Frame: 0-270 days after delivery ]Macronutrient composition includes calories (kcal/ml), total protein, fat and carbohydrate (lactose) content in breast milk.
- Other nutrient composition in breast milk of 0-270 days after delivery. [ Time Frame: 0-270 days after delivery. ]Beside macronutrient composition, all major minerals, vitamins will be analyzed. In addition, functional compounds, such as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), total/free amino acids, lipid profiles, and microbiota, will be analyzed as well.
- Dietary pattern of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. [ Time Frame: 0-270 days after delivery. ]A one-time standardized 24-hour food recall survey, is utilized to access dietary pattern of subjects.
- Nutrients intake and adequacy of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. [ Time Frame: 0-270 days after delivery ]A one-time standardized 24-hour food recall survey, is utilized to access nutrient intakes and adequacy (by comparing existing local and international RDAs and DRIs databases).
- Nutrition supplements intake status of lactating mothers of 0-270 days after delivery. [ Time Frame: 0-270 days after delivery. ]A one-time food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), designed to access nutritional supplement usage, is being utilized.
