As recommended by Health Canada, breastfeeding should be exclusive for the first 6 months for infants and maintained for at least 2 years to…

the other glands, such as prolactin, which is involved in milk production, adrenocorticotropic hormone which responds to stress through a stimulation of the epinephrine, hormone responsible for the stimulation of thyroid, as well as the luteinizing hormone, which regulates ovulation timing and promotes sperm and egg development, follicle-stimulating hormone and sex hormone. Other hormones produced in the pituitary gland include; dopamine, which functions to inhibit prolactin releases,…
