The first 6 months of life is a crucial time in meeting iron needs. The purpose of this review is to examine iron in mother's milk and whether or not it meets the physiological needs of the growing infant. Key issues include iron content and iron transport from the mammary gland as well as when and what foods should be added to the solely breastfed infant. We examine these topics in light of new molecular biology findings in the mammary gland.
生命的头6个月是满足铁需求的关键时期。本综述的目的是研究母乳中的铁以及它是否能满足成长中婴儿的生理需求。关键问题包括铁含量、乳腺中铁的转运,以及何时以及应该给纯母乳喂养的婴儿添加何种食物。我们根据乳腺中分子生物学的新发现来研究这些主题。
