Although breast milk is acknowledged to be the best food for the young baby, surprisingly little is known about the variations in yield and composition which occur. That there are wide variations in yield is clinically obvious, but variations of composition can only be discovered by chemical analysis. Since it is difficult to collect milk for analysis under standard sampling conditions, chemical data reported in the literature are often unreliable and even contradictory. The management of breast feeding by many doctors and nurses in this country seems to rest largely on the assumption that virtually all women are capable of adequate lactation. No biochemical data are given to support this assertion, and the findings reported here support the opposite view, namely that many women do produce milk of poor quality.
