Is breast milk still nutritious after six months?

Patient's question:

Just got pregnant. My friend said that breast milk will lose nutrition after half a year. Is it true that breast milk will lose nutrition after half a year?

Doctor's answer:

Breast milk remains nutritionally unchanged after six months. The nutrition of breast milk is determined by what you eat. However, pure breastfeeding is not possible after six months. At this stage, since the baby's nutritional needs increase, pure breastfeeding cannot meet the baby's needs. It is recommended that you still focus on enhancing your nutrition. Breast milk is always nutritious, but as the baby grows, some complementary foods need to be added.
