O92.40: Hypogalactia No mention of difficulties latching on
Your breasts are giving too little milk.
The breast is made up of fatty tissue, connective tissue and the mammary gland. Milk is produced in the mammary gland during and after pregnancy so that the child can be fed. The milk from the mammary gland passes to the nipple through the milk ducts. There are certain messengers in the body that stimulate milk production in the mammary gland. Milk production is also stimulated when the child sucks on the nipple or it is pumped.
The breasts may not be giving milk for a variety of reasons. If the child is not sucking the nipple enough, milk production may not be being sufficiently stimulated. This can particularly occur just after the birth, or if the child is getting additional milk from the bottle. Having too little milk can also be caused by uncertainty or stress. There may also be too little mammary gland tissue.
