One ref may be:http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/116/3/e432 

Mandel D et al (2005). Fat and energy contents of expressed human breast milk in prolonged lactation. Pediatrics, 116(3), e432-e435.

With higher risk of infection, etc. in DS children would think the immunological properties still helpful too.
