A Pilot Study on the Protein Composition of Induced Nonpuerperal Human Milk
Conclusion:
This pilot study suggests that nonpuerperal milk has similar or higher levels of total protein, sIgA, lactoferrin, and lysozyme compared to puerperal, mature milk at 11 months postpartum, which warrants more attention as adoptive mothers increasingly choose to induce lactation.

Birth and Breastfeeding Dynamics in a Modernizing Indigenous Community
Conclusion:
We have observed temporal and maternal age-related trends toward suboptimal breastfeeding patterns in the Maya community. Contrary to our first hypothesis, hospital births per se were not associated with negative breastfeeding outcomes. In support of our second hypothesis, cesarean versus vaginal births were associated with negative breastfeeding outcomes. (Source: Journal of Human Lactation)

Breastfeeding rates in all women improved during the study period. Breastfeeding attitude was more strongly associated with breastfeeding behavior than peer support.

Prioritization of Resources for Participants in a Peer Counseling Breastfeeding Support Program
Conclusion:
It may be advantageous for peer counselors to direct fewer resources to later postnatal enrollees and more to prenatal or early postnatal enrollees. It may also be advantageous to focus on supporting women at high risk of discontinuation rather than on retaining women who choose to withdraw from the program while breastfeeding.

Inequities in Milk-Based Prelacteal Feedings in Latin America and the Caribbean: The Role of Cesarean Section Delivery
Conclusion:
Women of lower socioeconomic status may need additional breastfeeding support after cesarean section delivery to prevent the introduction of milk-based prelacteals. Reducing the rates of cesarean section deliveries is likely to reduce the prevalence of prelacteal feeding. (Source: Journal of Human Lactation)
