Breastfeeding Duration

8K2K11

Breastfeeding duration reflects a complex interplay of biology, behavior, and context—capturing how long a mother continues nursing, shaped by milk supply, infant needs, cultural norms, and personal choice. Research shows that variations near genes involved in prolactin signaling, lactation physiology, and hormonal re...
