Breast milk is the only food a baby is fed for the first six months, and that's why it's so important. Of course, breast milk is not only food for the baby, but also protects him from diseases. Breast milk, which also makes the baby happy, begins to form with the onset of pregnancy. Hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy lead to the formation of breast milk. Sources such as various vitamins and proteins found in edible foods are transferred to the milk production sacs and milk begins to form in the milk production sacs. Thanks to the hormone called oxytocin, the sacs begin to contract and the milk reaches the breast by passing through various channels.

What is Required for the Formation of Breast Milk?

Breast milk begins to form along with pregnancy hormones. In other words, situations such as the absence of milk are seen, although rare. Of course, you don't have to worry about that because such cases are very rare. In fact, titles such as the absence of milk find little place in the literature. The milk will be thrown out of the channels when the time comes. Maternity hormones need to be activated in the right place for milk to form. In addition, the glands and milk ducts in the breast must work correctly and start producing milk. If the ducts and glands do not produce milk or produce less milk, you need to turn to foods that increase breast milk. In addition, there are various exercises that increase breast milk.

Which Organ Makes Breast Milk?

Almost every person will answer this question with a breast, but in fact, it is not just about the breast. Of course, breast milk comes from the breast, but the formation of milk begins in the milk sacs. The organ that plays the main role in the formation of breast milk is the brain. There is a hormone called pituitary in the lower part of the brain, and this hormone interacts with the cells in the breast tissue. The hormone called oxytocin begins to reproduce when the baby suckles its mother. Oxytocin allows breast milk to pass through the milk ducts and reach the nipple. Estrogen, progesterone and insulin also play a major role in the formation of breast milk. If even one of these hormones does not work properly, there may be a problem in milk production.
