The aim of this study was to evaluate the physico chemical and microbiological quality of breast milk from 10 lactating women in the city of Kenitra. The samples were returned to the laboratory of the Faculty of Sciences Kenitra for analysis. The outcome obtained showed that the bacteria were present in the milk at a concentration of 2.103-8.104 for FMAT CFU, and CFU 1,86.102- 11,6.104 concentration for lactic acid bacteria, with an average pH of 7.4 and an acidity of 0.026 ° D. We can say that breast milk is an environment in which grow more microorganisms at concentrations that do not exceed 103-104.
