Specific milk components have been linked to offspring metabolic phenotypes such as growth rate, fat accrual, and later cardiometabolic risks. Lactational programming refers to offspring metabolic programming that occurs during human milk feeding. Milk factors have been proposed to influence offspring postnatal development. The mammary gland may be susceptible to maternal metabolic conditions because lactogenesis begins in the second half of gestation.
