Breastfeeding, the most effective single strategy to reduce child mortality, provides numerous benefits for both the mother and the infant. The mother's consumption habits during breastfeeding strongly influence breastmilk quality and the newborn's nutrition. Given that drugs of abuse negatively affect both the mother's and the infant's health, analyzing breastmilk samples helps to estimate infant exposure to these drugs and to evaluate how severe this public health issue is. We have developed a new method to monitor ten substances in breastmilk, to improve our understanding of this issue in Brazil. None of the substances were detected in the few samples obtained from a milk bank, which showed that this organization successfully analyzes the donor's profile and conducts effective anamnesis. Future analysis of a larger number of samples and hence more data could help to describe the current scenario in more detail.
