First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether breastfeeding mothers who eat one avocado daily for 12 weeks can increase key brain-supporting nutrients in their milk. Researchers will measure nutrients like choline and lutein in the milk and test the babies' memory and thinking skills at 4.5 and 6 months old. The goal is to see if a simple whole food can support infant brain development.
