Abstract:
Gut microbiome plays an important role in maintaining lifelong health. Infancy is a critical period for the establishment of gut microbiota, which is influenced by many factors, including delivery methods, antibiotics, and feeding mode. Human milk contains a variety of bioactive factors, such as human milk oligosaccharide, secretory immunoglobulin, and human milk microbiota, which play important roles in the establishment and stability of newborn microbiota. This article presents the latest research progress on the effects of the aforementioned bioactive factors in breast milk on the colonization and development of infant microbiota, and explains how these substances affect immune function through intestinal bacteria.
