If one day someone told me I would learn something about lactation on mangago I would not have believed them anyway thanks for the fact <3
I read about this on mf twitter dot com (￣∇￣") truly you can get knowledge from ANYWHERE

I hoped to find a comment like this!! I thought the same, but English isn't my first language so I didn't know how to write it. Thank you, hun!
Lol mom of 3 here, uhhh none of that is true. Just don't let hubby suck on your breasts because of contagious diseases baby may catch. Nothing about nutrients. OBGYN'S actually tell mom that have a clogged duct to have hubby suck to unclog it after a hot shower. Breast milk is packed of vitamins and nutrients on a cellular level. It won't stop until you and baby are ready to stop nursing. Thank you for my Ted talk.
Forgot to add, I breast fed all my babies until they fully cut teeth. I know my stuff.
You being a mom doesn't automatically make you an expert.
No it doesnt but it does mean through direct experience with birthing kids, meeting with obgyn's and pediatricians for expert opinions; I may be closer to the fact. But all in all, a simple google search would also benefit you.
Oh yeahhh forgot to add, that one twt acc (where i read this) also said it's not scientifically proven so yeah... The possibility is always there, may or may not be true, but still.... Interesting discussion guys ⊙﹏⊙
hallo biomed student here!
so my og comment had a point to it actually, specifically in saliva (like amylase and lipase) can start breaking down carbohydrates and fats. This doesn’t instantly ruin the milk, but over time it could change its taste or texture. also bacteria from the mouth of an adult can seed the milk, which is one reason why stored milk that’s been drunk from directly should not be saved for later, so it spoils faster. there’s also the immune response angle, there’s some research suggesting that when an infant’s saliva mixes with milk, the mother’s body may detect pathogens and adjust immune factors in future milk. however yes, this is a long-term, signaling effect, not an immediate change in nutrient balance. so while a partner can help with unclogging ducts, just in general we shouldn’t let our partners drink from milk ducts in the long term!
random thing but when you’re breastfeeding you should actually never let your partner drink from your milk ducts as their saliva makes it so the vitamins/growth hormones you’re producing for your babies changes! the saliva from your babies makes you produce certain nutrients more than others to help them grow properly, so if a partner latches onto your ducts it can actually throw your body’s milk production all out of wack for your baby!
