Breast Feeding and Galactogogues'
Health Vision|January 2021
Exclusive breast feeding involves feeding only breast milk without any added fluids or solids. It is highly recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the first 6 months of life with supplemental breast feeding continuing for at least 2 years. This is because optimal breastfeeding of infants has a direct impact on growth, development, and health in the neonatal period.

Breast Feeding and Galactogogues'

Breastfeeding is known to have invaluable benefits both for the child and mother. For the mother, breast feeding causes weight reduction, provides stronger interaction with the infant as well as pleasure and pleasant emotion. It also provides a more practical approach to feeding in comparison to the use of a bottle prevents breast cancer and pregnancy and provides relief in breast pain while also being economical. For the infant, it promotes affectional bond with the mother while adequately supplying the nutritional and emotional needs.

In the developing world, low immunization rates, contaminated drinking water, and reduced immunity as a result of malnutrition make breast feeding crucial to reducing life-threatening infections. A review of interventions in 42 developing countries estimated that exclusive breast feeding for 6 months, with partial breastfeeding continuing to 12 months, can prevent 1.3 million (13%) deaths each year in children under 5 years. However exclusive breastfeeding is not without challenges. Mothers who have attempted to pursue exclusive breastfeeding can, however, attest to numerous nutritional and non-nutritional challenges mainly resulting in insufficient milk production (hypogalactia) or the absence of milk production (agalactia).

Various reasons causes in depletion or non production of breast milk those are

Previous history of breast surgeries, chemotherapy etc

Premature or preterm delivery.

Suffering from psychological postpartum

depression, stress, anxiety.etc

With Systemic disorders like thyroidism, hypertension.etc.
