Summary

This study looks at whether breastfeeding mothers who eat whole eggs pass more brain-boosting nutrients (like choline and DHA) to their babies through breast milk. 84 mother-infant pairs will take part, with some moms eating whole eggs and others eating egg whites. Researchers will measure the babies' memory and development to see if whole eggs make a difference.
