Citation for composition of human milk

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Does anyone have a well-document resource for the composition of human milk, especially one that includes immune factors. My nursing school professor is giving very shaky info (there is Iga but no antibodies, the baby doesn't get passive immunity from milk, just from life in the womb, etc.). I'd like to send her a succinct, professional (as opposed to for lay people) resource that she will hopefully use.

Thanks!
