Research in Lactation

Research in lactation involves studying how mothers produce and transfer milk to their infants, as well as understanding factors that affect breastfeeding success. This includes exploring the biology of milk production, nutritional needs, and how infants breastfeed efficiently. The goal is to improve breastfeeding practices, support maternal health, and address challenges like milk supply or latching difficulties. Such research helps create evidence-based guidelines, develop nipple care products, and inform healthcare providers, ultimately promoting the health and well-being of both mothers and babies through safe and effective breastfeeding.
