Mother's milk is simply not as rich as mother's blood, so dairy supplements make sense, especially for mom. Mother's milk may not be mother's blood but it is vastly superior to the infant formulas that many women are coerced into using. There are several substances, mainly long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, that are absent from formula during the critical time when infants are unable to synthesize adequate quantities on their own. These substances are used by the developing child to build its nervous system. If absent the child does not attain its intellectual potential. Is it any wonder that several studies have shown breast fed infants develop IQs 3 to 7 points higher than their bottle-fed counterparts, even after allowing for socio-economic factors? So yes, nursing mothers should consume large amounts of food, milk included. They are producing one of the most remarkable nutritional substances imaginable – mother's milk. Science can't begin to touch it.
