Maternal Adiposity, Milk Production and Removal, and Infant Milk Intake During Established Lactation
Our findings confirm maternal adiposity as a major contributor to low MP and reveal BSC, which is a measure of glandular tissue volume or breast development, as a mediator between adiposity and MP. This provides a rationale for antenatal lactation assessment of mothers and timely intervention in high-risk mothers to ensure they reach their full lactation potential.
