Hormonal Regulation of Postpartum Weight and Presence of Gut Peptides in Human Milk Studies suggest that childbearing is an important contributor to the development of obesity in many women and that breastfeeding may be protective.
Ghrelin and peptide YY (PYY) are gut hormones involved in appetite regulation and energy homeostasis and are biological neuroendocrine signals that potentially affect body weight and adiposity/

Eligibility Criteria: Healthy females, 18+ years old, non-smokers, no major food allergies, first-time mom, currently pregnant or within 1 month of giving birth.
