Kotilová Lucie Consultant: PharmDr. Miloslav Hronek, Ph.D. Title of Thesis: Evaluation of the Composition of Breast Milk in Relation to Nutritional Lactating Women Maternal milk is considered the ideal nutrition for infants during the six months of life. Its quality is an important factor affecting the well-being of newborns. The quality of breast milk is linked with a number of internal and external factors. One of the external factors is maternal nutrition which means a diet of lactating mothers. Our study included 38 lactating mothers with their babies. We made a number of measurements, in which we focused on the composition of dietary intake of mothers and composition of breast milk. The aim of our study was to detect interactions between maternal nutritional intake and composition of breast milk. The composition of nutritional intake of mothers did not observe statistically significant differences depending on the duration of breastfeeding. Energy intake of lactating mothers in kcal/kg varied slowly (ANOVA P = 0.4666). No statistically significant changes between intake of vitamins, intake of minerals and trace elements were observed. We revealed a..
