Study: Poor health is linked to lower breast milk production

Updated:1 year, 1 month ago

New Delhi, Sept 30 (ANI): According to a new UC study, poor metabolic health indicators are linked to lower breast milk production. The study was published in the journal Breastfeeding Medicine. "We wanted to see if we could understand what stands out as different in these moms. So, we conducted a case-control study to see why, despite their best efforts at doing everything right with breastfeeding, they were not making enough milk," says Laurie Nommsen-Rivers, PhD, associate professor of nutrition, and the Ruth Rosevear Endowed Chair of Maternal and Child Nutrition in the UC College of Allied Health Sciences. "The prevailing dogma is if you try hard enough at breastfeeding, your body will be able to do this." Nommsen-Rivers and her team analyzed data from a randomized controlled trial from February 2015 to June 2016 involving women screened for a low-milk supply. Mothers who were aged 20 years or older and one to eight weeks postpartum with a healthy infant born at 37 weeks of gestation or later were included. Participants completed at-home infant test-weighing to measure milk output.
