Q

Anatomy and Physiology of Milk Production

A

By 20 weeks OB mammary glands are capable for milk production

Breast Milk production is signaled by the fall of progesterone. Suckling stimulates the hypothalamus to decrease prolactin-INHibiting factors to permit prolactin by the anterior pituitary which leads to a rise in the level of prolactin. Suckling by the infant is essential to establish and maintain lactation by increasing prolactin levels. The hypothalamus also stimulates the synthesis and release of oxytocin by the posterior pituitary to cause “letdown reflex”.

Amount of milk production depends on stimulation of the breast - “supply and demand”
