About this study

Collect breast milk samples in various administrative regions of China to measure the nutrients in breast milk; analyze the composition of nutrients; and establish the database of breast milk in China.

Read the detailed description

The study cities are Guangzhou, Weihai, Chengdu, Beijing, Harbin, Wuhan, Jinhua, Zhengzhou and Lanzhou.

Breast milk will be collected at 9:00-11:00 in the morning from 15 to180 days after giving birth. The nutrients (protein, triglyceride, phospholipid, oligosaccharides and probiotics) in the collected breast milk samples will be measured. These data will be used to establish the breast milk database in China. This databased will provide references for infant nutrient intake and for the formulation and revision of infant formula standards. It will also provide references for the development of new infant formula products in China.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Milk Collection, run by Heilongjiang Feihe Dairy Co. Ltd..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Protein in breast milk (time frame: At enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
