dc.description.abstract	Published data on the fatty acid (FA) composition of breast milk (BM) of Sri-Lankan mothers are limited.To report the FA composition in BM within the first 6 months of lactation and to study whether the fat mass of lactating mothers would influence FA composition of their BM.During the present cross-sectional study, mid-stream milk samples from 48 exclusively breastfeeding mothers were collected and analysed by gas chromatography. Deuterium dilution technique was used to measure maternal body composition.	en_US
