Abstract: The object of this study was to clarify the relationship between the concentration of secretory IgA (sIgA) in breast milk on the third puerperal day and the nutritional benefit for breastfeeding in the early puerperal period. The test subjects were 61 women who had a vaginal delivery at full term after a normal pregnancy. Also, in order to understand the physical and mental state of the subjects, when the breast milk samples were taken, a shortened version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) was also administered. From the analysis, the following points became evident. 1) There was a negative correlation between the amount of breast milk fed to the infants and the concentration of sIgA in the breast milk. 2) The amount of breast milk for the primipara women was significantly lower than that of the multipara women. 3) There was no correlation between the concentrations of sIgA in the breast milk and the results of the POMS scores. The results suggest that the mother's milk can effectively provide an immunological benefit to the newborn baby even when there is a small amount of breast milk. Therefore, it would be advantageous to encourage and support mothers with insufficient breast milk.
