With regard to the special qualities of human breast milk and milk production, nurses should be aware that:

Frequent feedings during predictable growth spurts stimulate increased milk production. This reinforces that supply meets demand.

Breast milk has more vitamin D and iron compared to formula.

The milk at the beginning of the feeding is the same as the milk at the end of the feeding.

Colostrum is an early, less concentrated, less rich version of mature milk.
