Does Zinc Pass Through Breastmilk
There it is...LOL! Does zinc pass through breastmilk? I am taking tons of zinc to help get rid of this cold. The baby has this cold too and I wondered if the zinc was passing to him or not?

Not really. Breastmilk is relatively low in zinc. Our DS had a zinc deficiency while nursing and we have to supplement daily for him.

Re: Does Zinc Pass Through Breastmilk
Zinc is L2 according to Dr Hale's 2008 book. He says "Zinc absorption by the infant from human milk is high, averaging 41%..."
Want me to post the pages for you to review? |

Re: Does Zinc Pass Through Breastmilk
What made your doc go looking for Zinc deficiency and how did they diagnose it, if you don't mind me asking? What symptoms or signs was your baby having?

Re: Does Zinc Pass Through Breastmilk
Wow that's incredible! Did they ever find out what caused him to be so deficient? Not a mal-absorption issue since supplements are working...or was it?
