Excerpt:

Humans carry around tons of living bacteria that are vital for excellent health, and with breastfeeding, infants make some of their first contact with helpful microorganisms that will colonize their body. Experts have actually found that breast milk contains more species of bacteria than initially expected -- even more than 700 selections. The bacteria's precise role is still confusing, however this microbial range might help the child to digest the milk or to provide the baby 's immune system a boost, researchers state. And further examinations might result in nourishment approaches for babies who can not be nursed. The microbiome of breast milk was drawn up utilizing a DNA sequencing technique referred to as pyrosequencing, which produces extremely large numbers of small DNA "tags" copied from the genes of microorganisms being examined.
