Summary

This study collects and analyzes breast milk from 1000 mothers in Tanzania, Pakistan, Burkina Faso, and Canada. Researchers will measure nutrients, antibodies, and other components to understand how milk composition varies and affects infant growth and health. The goal is to create a shared database to answer key questions about maternal and infant nutrition.
