Summary Introduction

Introduction: Lactation is the production of milk in the women’s body after  childbirth. Lactation signals are caused by the release of hormones such as prolactin and oxytocin. Prolactin helps in the milk production. The release of milk from the mother’s breast to feed the baby is due to the release of oxytocin known as letdown response. Several nutrients are necessary for the growth and development of infants.
