This research aimed to analyze the percentage of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in human milk (HM) and newborn feces and to explore potential associations with factors such as maternal nutrition, age, biological sex, delivery mode, diet, and the type of HM. Gas chromatography was used to measure the percentage of SCFAs in colostrum ( = 23), transitional HM ( = 23), and mature HM ( = 92) and feces of newborn ( = 36) at day 30 postpartum. Anthropometry was also evaluated in the mother and the infant.

- * Out of 986 pregnant women, 40 mother-newborn pairs were analyzed for the diversity and composition of their gut and breast milk microbiota using DNA sequencing techniques.
- * Findings reveal that factors such as high maternal adiposity, older maternal age, and C-section births lead to lower levels of beneficial microbial species, highlighting the complex relationship between maternal traits and early-life microbiota development.
