RESUMEN
La alimentación al seno materno provee al recién nacido de una eficiente protección contra diferentes tipos de infecciones. Esta protección está mediada tanto por la presencia de anticuerpos y células inmunocompetentes, así como por factores bioactivos, tales como: oligosacáridos, enzimas, hormonas, factores de crecimiento y citocinas, que participan en la maduración de diferentes estirpes celulares. De los anticuerpos, la inmunoglobulina A representa la mayor proporción; esta inmunoglobulina secretora inhibe la traslocación de bacterias productoras de infecciones intestinales, evitando la bacteremia, la eventual septicemia y la enterocolitis necrozante. La leche materna también posee factores antiinflamatorios, que aunados a otros elementos contribuyen en el control de las infecciones gastrointestinales.
