Breast milk production

Breast milk production is the process of producing milk from the mammary glands. It usually begins after a few days of giving birth and continues until weaning. It is characterized by swelling and tenderness of the breasts, increased blood flow to the area, and a milky discharge from the nipples. Over time, the breasts become fuller and the production of milk increases. The amount of milk produced varies from woman to woman, and can be affected by many factors, including stress, diet, and hormones.
