The classic interpretation of stable isotope data from young children in an archaeological context is based on the hypothesis that the nitrogen isotope ratios present in breast milk remain identical throughout the breastfeeding period. This exploratory study assesses the changes in the nitrogen and carbon isotope ratios in maternal milk and in the nails of the mother and child, with the aim to evaluate the impact of variations in the stable isotope ratios in maternal milk on the tissues of children, and consequently on the reconstruction of the palaeo-diet of young children. The results show that the isotopic composition of maternal milk diminishes in relation to the mother's tissues like nails and, by extrapolation, bones. The δ15N values of the milk vary little during the weeks of breastfeeding, but this is not the case for carbon, which varies considerably during the course of breastfeeding and weaning and does not seem to be linked to the mother's diet and/or to the height and weight of the child. The difference between the δ15N values recorded for the mother's and child's nails is less than 2‰, which is lower than the values often cited in bioarchaeological literature. In addition, the data from this study does not confirm the hypothesis of a significant increase in heavy isotopes in the nails of newborn babies in relation to those of their mother at childbirth
