Tetrahydrobiopterin is a key co-factor for a number of important metabolic pathways. Its concentration in breast milk exceeds the plasma content suggesting that it is an important source of this molecule early in life. The origin, role and relevance of tetrahydrobiopterin for the newborn are discussed in this chapter.
