Suppressed lactation - what does this mean
Suppressed lactation is a condition in which a mother is unable to produce enough milk to feed her infant. it is caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, anatomical problems, medications, stress, and inadequate nutrition. treatment typically involves making lifestyle changes, such as increasing caloric intake and reducing stress, as well as medications to help stimulate milk production.

Suppressed lactation is caused by a disruption in the normal hormonal regulation of lactation. this disruption is caused by a decrease in the production of oxytocin, prolactin, and other hormones that are necessary for the production of milk. additionally, physical or psychological stress, medications, and medical conditions can also interfere with the normal production of lactation hormones, leading to a decrease in milk production.
