How to use "Lactation" in context?
Overview of lactation
When a woman is pregnant, her body is preparing to produce milk. The hormones estrogen and progesterone help to increase the size and number of milk-producing cells in the mammary glands. When the baby is born, the hormones suddenly disappear, and the glands stop producing milk. If you are breastfeeding, your body will start to produce milk even if you have not had any babies. This is because your body has trained itself to produce milk.
There are two types of lactation: nulliparous and parous.
