Question
I am a new mother, 28 years old, and currently in the breastfeeding stage. How is breast milk formed?
Answer
The formation process of breast milk is as follows: 1. Through a series of complex physiological processes within the mother’s body, secreted by acinar cells. 2. Flowing into the acinar ducts. 3. Finally, excreted through the mother’s milk ducts. This is a complex physiological process triggered by oxytocin produced by the posterior pituitary gland and prolactin secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which are 20 times more abundant in postpartum mothers than in non-pregnant women.
