Yes.
The hormone oxytocin stimulates the secretion of breast milk. It is released when a baby suckles at the breast, triggering the milk ejection reflex.
They have two teets that produce milk. The foal suckles of them.
The development of alveoli in the breast allows for the production of breast milk. Alveoli are small sacs where milk is produced by specialized cells. When a baby suckles, it triggers the release of hormones that signal the alveoli to release milk into the ducts, which then flows out of the nipple for the baby to feed on.
Suckling refers to the action of a baby or young animal drawing milk from a breast or teat. It is a natural instinct for babies to suckle for nourishment and comfort.
The lactiferous sinuses are part of the milk duct system in the breast. They store and hold milk produced by the mammary glands until it is released during breastfeeding. When the baby suckles, the milk is released from the lactiferous sinuses and flows through the ducts to the nipple for the baby to feed.
yes
Depends on the size of the breast and how pregant or how long after baby is born, the woman is.
If you continue to offer a newborn the breast from the time of birth and do not supplement with formula you will have an adequate supply of breast milk until you stop offering the breast. Breast milk is supplied based on demand. If the newborn/child suckles for it, your breasts will continue to produce milk indefinitely.
No your wife cannot produce milk because you have to have a baby and the baby has to be breast feeding.
The absolute best way to increase milk production is through stimulation. The more your baby suckles, the more milk you will produce. If you cannot allow the baby to suckle often, you can increase breastmilk yourself by manual stimulation or by pumping the milk. Doing this on a regular basis will increase the flow of milk, so your baby will have plenty of milk when she is ready to come home.
No. Breast milk is only produced by hormones in the body after a baby is born.
Yes, size does not matter when it comes to lactating. Your body will produce what your baby needs.
