An increasing number of children are developing non-communicable diseases that carry immediate and long-term significant societal and economic impacts. Thus, its prevention is imperative with early interventions, such as those that may fall within the first 1000 days, likely to yield better outcomes. The first 1000 days of life represent a period of rapid development sensitive to influences that may be leveraged to promote healthy growth. Breastfeeding is one such modifiable factor. Observational studies have shown that breastfeeding may be associated with reductions in chronic conditions, though its mechanism remains unknown. The complexity of these relationships is furthered by studies showing maternal metabolic status may alter breastmilk composition. Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate the influence of maternal metabolic status on breastmilk composition and assess associations between breastmilk composition and common noncommunicable diseases in childhood.
