Abstract

It is well established that breastfeeding provides significant health benefits for both the mother and the infant. The World Health Organization recommends initiating breastfeeding within the first hour after birth and continuing exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months. Successful breastfeeding is influenced not only by the proper physiological preparation of the body and the action of pregnancy-related hormones but also by the mother's overall health status. However, the role of maternal body composition and metabolic condition in breastfeeding success has received little attention. To better understand the impact of these factors on breastfeeding effectiveness, we reviewed the latest research on this topic, with particular emphasis on the role of hydration and lipid metabolism. Our narrative review indicates that the amount and distribution of water and adipose tissue are crucial for successful lactation and that various hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders increase the risk of delayed breastfeeding initiation, shortened breastfeeding duration, or insufficient milk production. In light of our findings, measurement methods for assessing described parameters were also introduced. This article aims to review the effects of maternal body composition, hydration status, and metabolic and social factors on lactation and breastfeeding.

产妇身体成分、水合和代谢健康对母乳喂养成功率的影响：全面回顾。

母乳喂养对母亲和婴儿的健康都大有裨益，这一点已得到公认。世界卫生组织建议在婴儿出生后一小时内开始母乳喂养，并持续纯母乳喂养 6 个月。成功的母乳喂养不仅受到身体适当的生理准备和与妊娠有关的激素作用的影响，还受到母亲整体健康状态的影响。然而，产妇的身体成分和新陈代谢状况对母乳喂养成功与否的作用却很少受到关注。为了更好地了解这些因素对母乳喂养效果的影响，我们回顾了有关这一主题的最新研究，并特别强调了水分和脂质代谢的作用。我们的叙述性综述表明，水和脂肪组织的数量和分布对成功哺乳至关重要，而各种激素失衡和新陈代谢紊乱会增加延迟开始母乳喂养、缩短母乳喂养持续时间或乳汁分泌不足的风险。根据我们的研究结果，还介绍了评估所述参数的测量方法。本文旨在回顾产妇身体成分、水合状态、代谢和社会因素对泌乳和母乳喂养的影响。

期刊介绍： Medical Science Monitor (MSM) established in 1995 is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal which publishes original articles in Clinical Medicine and related disciplines such as Epidemiology and Population Studies, Product Investigations, Development of Laboratory Techniques :: Diagnostics and Medical Technology which enable presentation of research or review works in overlapping areas of medicine and technology such us (but not limited to): medical diagnostics, medical imaging systems, computer simulation of health and disease processes, new medical devices, etc. Reviews and Special Reports - papers may be accepted on the basis that they provide a systematic, critical and up-to-date overview of literature pertaining to research or clinical topics. Meta-analyses are considered as reviews. A special attention will be paid to a teaching value of a review paper. Medical Science Monitor is internationally indexed in Thomson-Reuters Web of Science, Journals Citation Report (JCR), Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI), Index Medicus MEDLINE, PubMed, PMC, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Chemical Abstracts CAS and Index Copernicus.
