不断探索母乳科学奥秘,更新人类对母乳的认知

Exploring miracles and obtaining a better understanding of breast milk:a long way to go

母乳和母乳喂养是母乳科学研究的2个主要内容。近2个世纪以来的研究成果表明,母乳是2亿年来人类进化的产物,母乳是婴儿营养需求的金标准,并且可用于临床生命救治和健康促进。母乳喂养是实现婴儿正常生长发育、维护健康状态的最佳途径,由于母乳喂养行为易受社会及其他因素的冲击,全球6月龄以内婴儿的纯母乳喂养率改善不够明显。鉴于母乳科学研究的严谨性和紧迫性,未来研究应着重于建设国家母乳成分标准体系和监测体系,建立国家基础战略数据资源,推进母乳科学理论发展与技术创新,提出我国解决母乳问题的合理方案。

Breast milk and breastfeeding are the main focus of scientific research on breast milk.Previous studies in the past two centuries have shown that breast milk is the product of human evolution over 200 million years;that breast milk is a gold standard for infant feeding to meet their nutritional requirement,and human milk can also be used clinically for life-saving or health promotion of infants.Breastfeeding is the best way to achieve normal growth and development of infants and maintain their health.The challenges of breastfeeding behavior and the influence of social-economic or other possible factors have contributed to the poor improvement of exclusive breastfeeding rate of infants up to the age of 6 months in the world.Noting the preciseness and urgency of scientific research on human milk,research in the future should focus on the construction of national standard and monitoring system for human milk composition,the establishment of national basic strategic data resources,updating the latest evidence and technological innovation in human milk science,and propose a practical plan to resolve problems in breastfeeding in China.
