What is Lactation
Lactation is the process by which milk is produced in the mammary glands of female mammals, including humans, to feed their offspring. During pregnancy, the hormone prolactin stimulates the growth and development of the mammary glands, preparing them for milk production. After childbirth, the hormone oxytocin stimulates the release of milk from the mammary glands and helps with the ejection of the milk during breastfeeding.
Breast milk is the ideal food for newborn babies, as it provides all the nutrients and antibodies that the baby needs to grow and develop. Breastfeeding also has benefits for the mother, such as helping the uterus to contract and reducing the risk of certain cancers.
If a mother is unable to breastfeed or chooses not to, there are alternative options, such as using formula or donor milk. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best option for both the mother and the baby.
