Human Lactation Research

Human lactation research studies how mothers produce and deliver breast milk, focusing on factors like milk composition, hormonal regulation, and infant nutrition. It aims to improve understanding of breastfeeding benefits for both mother and baby, address challenges like milk supply issues, and develop strategies to promote successful breastfeeding. This research combines biology, medicine, and nutrition to support maternal health and optimize infant development, ultimately informing healthcare practices, policies, and educational resources to encourage breastfeeding as a vital aspect of early life nutrition.
