1 Lactoferrin is a protein found in breast milk that has bactericidal and iron-binding properties.
2 Lactogenesis is the medical term the nurse should use when documenting a new mother’s milk production in the medical record.
3 Galactosemia is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that makes it difficult for the infant to metabolize milk sugar, which can damage the liver, kidneys, and brain.
4 Engorgement can happen when the body is adjusting to the amount of milk to make. It can also occur the first time the baby sleeps through the night. The breasts may feel heavy and swollen, with a flat nipple.
