Women who experienced delayed OL reports the absence of typical onset signs, including breast swelling, breast heaviness [6] and sense of breast milk "coming in" [8] within the first 72 hours postpartum; nevertheless, some reports suggest that the sensation of "milk coming in (to the breasts)" is resultant of milk production overshoot instead.
The first stage takes place during pregnancy, allowing for the development of the breast and production of colostrum, the thick, early form of milk that is low in volume, but rich in nutrition. [ 10 ] : 18–21 The birth of the baby and the placenta triggers the onset of the second stage of milk production, triggering the milk to come in over ...

During pregnancy, the level of prolactin rises to trigger the development of mammary tissue in the breast to prepare it for milk supply. [17] Yet, due to high levels of progesterone and oestrogen , which are female hormones released from the placenta , milk production is prohibited until the removal of the placenta after labour .
Its levels increase during pregnancy to prepare the breasts for milk production and remain high after childbirth to continue supporting breastfeeding. Issues related to abnormal lactation, such as inadequate milk supply or galactorrhea, an excessive milk flow not linked to childbirth, are also explored.
During this stage, the more that milk is removed from the breasts, the more the breast will produce milk. [9] [10] Research also suggests that draining the breasts more fully also increases the rate of milk production. [11] Thus the milk supply is strongly influenced by how often the baby feeds and how well it is able to transfer milk from the ...

Hyperprolactinemia, characterized by abnormally high levels of prolactin, may cause galactorrhea (production and spontaneous flow of breast milk), infertility, and menstrual disruptions in women. In men, it can lead to hypogonadism, infertility and erectile dysfunction. Prolactin is crucial for milk production during pregnancy and lactation.
