Milk, human, mature

Mature human milk is breast milk produced after the early stages of lactation, following colostrum and transitional milk. It mainly provides carbohydrate, fat and protein, together with water and smaller amounts of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, the supplied data list 7.2g of carbohydrate, 4.1g of fat and 1.3g of protein, providing 289 kJ of energy.

The carbohydrate in breast milk is mainly lactose, a naturally occurring sugar that provides energy. Fat also supplies energy, while protein supports growth and tissue development. Breast milk composition varies between individuals and over time, so these literature-based figures are a guide rather than a fixed composition. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
