Produktbeschreibung
Breastfeeding is a recommended practice due to its short and long term benefits for maternal and infant health. It is considered the best and most complete source of nutrients, which contributes to the reduction of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.

In this text we review the antimicrobial, antiviral and immunological mechanisms by which this glycoprotein contributes to this process.
