Milk from breast or baby formula is the exclusive source of nutrition for newborn infants. Short chain opioid peptides such as beta-casomorphins have been isolated from breast milk as well as baby formula. These biologically active peptides are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In infants predisposed to respiratory apnea because of abnormal autonomic nervous system development and respiratory control mechanisms, opioid peptides derived from milk might be one of the etiological factors for sudden infant death syndrome and near miss sudden infant death syndrome.
母乳或婴儿配方奶粉是新生儿唯一的营养来源。已从母乳和婴儿配方奶粉中分离出β-酪蛋白等短链阿片肽。这些生物活性肽可从胃肠道吸收。对于因自主神经系统发育异常和呼吸控制机制而易患呼吸暂停的婴儿，源自牛奶的阿片肽可能是婴儿猝死综合征和近濒死婴儿猝死综合征的病因之一。
