Maternal obesity and the human milk metabolome: associations with infant body composition and postnatal weight gain.

CONCLUSIONS: Maternal obesity is associated with changes in the human milk metabolome. While only a subset of metabolites correlated with both maternal and infant weight, these point to potential milk-dependent mechanisms for mother-child transmission of obesity. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02535637.
