Patient's question:
In society, many people also believe that breast milk is a nutritious food, and that drinking it as an adult is very beneficial for health. Can adults drink breast milk?Doctor's answer:
Breast milk is suitable for newborns, and its nutrition is relatively appropriate. If it's for adults, the nutritional value is not as reasonable as one might imagine, and it's not suitable for adult nutritional supplementation. The nutrition in breast milk is suitable for the developmental needs of newborns, but this nutrition is clearly insufficient for adults. Breast milk contains very few antibodies. For the needs of infants, this amount is enough, but adults already have their own immunity, so breast milk cannot play a role.
