Description
Hongda Ge and co-authors compare the germs and sugars in early and later human milk, in a study from 2024. Milk sugars, called oligosaccharides, feed helpful germs in a baby's gut. The mix of both changes as weeks pass after birth.
The team took samples from mothers in the first days after birth and again at about six weeks. They read the germ mix with a gene test and measured the sugars with a precise lab method. Total sugar content and most single sugars were higher in the early milk. One sugar rose in the later milk instead. The germ mix also differed in range and shape between the two stages. Links between single sugars and germ types are explored in the paper.
