Study Notes
Breastfeeding Benefits and Physiology
- Breastfeeding benefits for the mother include decreased blood loss after delivery and reduced risk of postpartum depression
- Breastfeeding delays return of menstruation and, in specific cases, fertility
- Long-term benefits for mothers include decreased risk of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes
- Breastfeeding is less expensive than infant formula, but its impact on mothers' earning potential is often not considered
- Feeding duration may range from 30-60 minutes initially, but may shorten as milk supply increases
- Expressing or pumping milk can help maintain supply and prevent breast infections
- Medical conditions that prevent breastfeeding are rare
- Breast development is determined by fat cells, not related to breastfeeding capability or milk production
- Milk production occurs in three stages: during pregnancy, after birth, and gradually over several weeks
- Lactation may be induced with hormone therapy and nipple stimulation
- Hormones produced during pregnancy prepare the breast for lactation
- The delivery of the placenta causes hormonal changes that enable milk production
