Methods for increasing the total fat and therefore energy content of mammalian and particularly human milk, the essential fatty acid content of that milk and the flow of that milk during lactation, or for preventing or reducing the normal decrease in milk fat content that occurs during prolonged lactation, by administering gamma linolenic acid, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid or their mixture, alone or a physiologically acceptable diluent or carrier, in a form administrable to the lactating female. |
