Breast milk provides ideal nutrition and passive immunity for the infant, encourages mild uterine contractions to return the uterus to its pre-pregnancy size (i.e., involution), and induces a substantial metabolic increase in the mother, consuming the fat reserves stored during pregnancy.

Calcium absorption, influenced by age, vitamin D, and physiological conditions, is most efficient in infancy and adolescence. Urinary excretion is tightly regulated and dietary elements such as protein and phosphorus play a role.

It notes rising concerns about high phosphorus intake from ultra-processed foods in the American diet, prompting a reevaluation of safety levels. Additionally, the European Food Safety Authority has recently reduced the acceptable daily intake for phosphate.
