Summary
Breast feeding is believed to be beneficial to long-term health but how these effects are mediated is unknown. I suggest that this may be through effects on body composition and metabolism.
I will compare adipose tissue and liver fat deposition in healthy, full term breast and formula fed infants babies shortly after birth and around 12 weeks.
