| Abstract: | Breast milk quality in a 65 year-old postmenopausal Nigerian woman is compared to a control group of well-nourished Nigerian mothers. Successful relactation ensued 19 years after her last confinement. Three grand-children have been nursed successively over a 4-year period of continuous lactation.The lactose and triglyceride concentration; and the Bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) activity in her breast milk were not significantly different from the control group. However, the total protein content was only 40% of the control group. |
