Normal supply of zinc to the newborn via milk is essential for normal development. Using ICP-OES, we analyzed changes in the level of Zn in milk and infant serum in the neonatal period (Day 1 and Day 28 post partum) and at 6 months after delivery, in the cohort of 60 mothers and exclusively breastfed babies. Zn level in the serum showed increase (significant at 6 months) during this period (mg/mL): Day 1: 0.52 +/- 0.12; Day 28; 0.59 +/- 0.19; 6 months: 0.68 +/- 0.28. The concentration of Zn in the milk showed an opposite (decreasing) trend during the follow up: Day 1: 4.70 +/- 1.74 mg/L; Day 28: 2.65 +/- 1.06; 6 months: 0.46 +/- 0.36. A significant negative correlation was established between serum and milk [Zn] at day 28 (R = -0.338; p = 0.008), whereas a positive correlation was found at 6 months between these parameters (R = 0.306; p = 0.018). There was no significant correlation between [Zn] in the milk and serum and infants' body mass, mothers' age and mass at delivery. The level ...of Zn in the milk at 6 months of lactation is not sufficient to meet the recommended values. This implies that in Serbian population, Zn supplementation might be needed in the later phase of lactation.
