Abstract

IgA, IgM and IgG values of breast milk had higher significantly within first 12 hrs with increasing the time of lactation and then dropped markedly with other day’s advantages. The mean values with SD were 36.53 ± 6.72, 14.05 ± 2.78 and 0.88 ± 0.42 g/L at 0-12 hrs parturition, respectively; while at 7th day, being 4.23 ± 0.61, 0.37 ± 0.03 and 0.13 ± 0.07 g/L in order. In addition, the total amino acids levels of human milk immunoglobulins (Igs) took the same trend in these times.
