Muttermilch ist zu jedem Zeitpunkt genau auf die Bedürfnisse des sich entwickelnden
Kindes abgestimmt. Sämtliche Nähr- und Immunstoffe, Vitamine und Mineralien, die es
während der ersten 6 Monate und darüber hinaus für Wachstum und Entwicklung benötigt,
sind darin enthalten.
Doch wie gelangen die Vitamine überhaupt in die Milch? Inwieweit kann der Vitamingehalt
der Muttermilch durch die Ernährung der Mutter beeinflusst werden? Und, warum sind
Vitamingaben an Neugeborene und Säuglinge mit wenigen Ausnahmen vollkommen überflüssig?
