![Page 8: BREASTFEEDING · BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING FOR MOM Immediate Benefits for Mom Promotes faster weight loss after birth, burning about 500 extra calories a day Stimulates the uterus](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052023/6038acef45174178fc00610d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
BREAST
CHANGES IN
PREGNANCY
Changes occur in your breasts before you miss a period. Your breasts can feel sensitive, painful or swollen.
The levels of the hormones change and ready the breasts for lactation.
Estrogen stimulates growth of the breast duct cells and generates the secretion of prolactin.
Prolactin stimulates breast enlargement and milk production.
Breasts continue to get larger in pregnancy, often a full cup size.
Progesterone supports the formation and growth of milk-producing cells within the glands of the breasts.
After birth, progesterone decreases and prolactin rises to allow lactation.
