Your BREASTS continually respond to your baby

A mother’s breasts are in constant communication with her baby during breastfeeding, responding dynamically to the baby’s needs.

One remarkable way this happens is through changes in breast milk. As the baby grows, the nutrients in the milk adjust to provide the right balance of proteins, fats, and vitamins essential for each stage of development. when a baby is sick, breast milk changes to include more immune-boosting properties, helping the baby recover faster. This occurs because the baby’s saliva, or "backwash," enters the mother’s nipples during feeding, alerting her body to any germs or microbes the baby has been exposed to.

The mother's immune system then responds by producing antibodies that pass through the milk to protect the baby. Another fascinating response is how the breasts can regulate their temperature to keep the baby warm or cool. If a baby is too hot or cold, the breast adjusts its temperature to ensure the baby stays comfortable, demonstrating the incredible, responsive nature of breastfeeding.
