The authors regret that in referring to the meta-analysis included in the paper by Leghi et al1 in the introduction of our original manuscript, we inadvertently gave the impression that women from low- and middle-income countries were not considered by the authors in their systematic review. We have clarified this point by revising the following sentence.

“Human milk energy was not investigated in this review, and underweight women and low- and middle-income countries were not represented.”

This sentence now reads:

“Human-milk energy and underweight were not investigated in this review, and while the systematic review included low- and middle-income countries, they were not represented in the meta-analysis.”

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
