Abstract Gas‐liquid chromatography has been used to follow changes in the triglyceride composition of human colostrum and milk from one donor during the first 10 days postpartum and to compare the compositions obtained with those at later stages of lactation. New triglycerides of low molecular weight appeared during the first 5 days postpartum. Lower molecular weight triglycerides (
