22 Weeks Lactating: The Unique Properties of Human Milk

Adapting to Your Baby’s Needs

Your milk is a living, evolving substance, adapting to your baby’s age, health, and environment. It changes in composition during growth spurts, illness, and even from day to night—providing exactly what your baby needs.
