A methodological approach to identify the most reliable human milk collection method for compositional analysis: a systematic review protocol

DiscussionIt is important to identify the most reliable and practical method of human milk collection which best represents the average composition of the milk that is being consumed by the infant. This systematic review will be critical for ensuring that we determine a robust and consistent sampling approach to use in future studies of evaluating breast milk composition in a larger population. Identifying a recommended standard collection protocol will also provide more opportunities for sharing and combining data from different research groups, thus enhancing replicability and knowledge in the field.Systematic review registrationPROSPEROCRD42017072563
