Human milk was the one successful infant food until the advent of scientific pediatrics, the invention of electric refrigeration, and the development of formulas containing the major nutrients in concentrations similar to human milk. Infants apparently thrive on artificial formulas but the current formulas represent only a stage in the journey to optimal nutrition for infants. Better analyses of the composition of human milk are likely to lead to an improved understanding of the infant's nutritional requirements and thus to better feeding practices.
在科学儿科学出现、电制冷发明以及含有与母乳中主要营养素浓度相似的配方奶粉研制出来之前，母乳一直是唯一成功的婴儿食品。婴儿显然能靠人工配方奶粉茁壮成长，但目前的配方奶粉只是婴儿实现最佳营养过程中的一个阶段。对母乳成分进行更深入的分析可能会增进对婴儿营养需求的理解，从而带来更好的喂养方式。
