Abstract: Breast milk is an ideal source of nutrition for the growth and development of infants. The study of metabolomics integrates holistic and dynamic technological approaches, which offers practical feasibility for the analysis of small molecular metabolites in breast milk, including their composition, structure, functionality, as well as their relationship with maternal and infant health. This article provides an overview of the origins and development of breast milk metabolomics, influencing factors, and the relationship between breast milk metabolites and the health of the offsprings.
