Tuesday Checkup: researchers look for best way to enrich breast milk

Breast Milk has long been known to be very good for babies -- especially those who are born prematurely. For these preemies, what's even better is fortified breast milk. But one of the challenges is determining what kinds of nutrients are needed and how many because a woman's milk changes over time.

She spoke with ideastream's Eric Wellman.
