Abstract
Introduction: Human lactation should be taken into account as an important issue for the international agenda. Despite advances in lactation information and knowledge, insufficient milk production is still a concern for mothers and health practitioners, including International Board Certified Lactation Consultants and others. Primary hypogalactia, or insufficient milk production is uncommon, but should be considered when there is poor weight gain and decreased urine output in infants despite good latch-on and suckling, or anatomic differences in the physical exam of the lactating breast.
Main issue: This case series presents three cases illustrating insufficient milk production resulting in infants who experienced significant dehydration and poor weight gain.
Management: Primary hypoplasia was diagnosed by means of a thorough interview and physical examination that entailed a consultation with a physician who was also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
Conclusion: Awareness of an infant's feeding needs and proper evaluation of a child's health status is paramount if health care providers are to identify the important factors contributing to breastfeeding problems. In some instances, breastfeeding goals cannot be achieved, and then the provider's role becomes support in coming to terms with persistent insufficient milk production, and coordinating appropriate supplementation to meet each baby's nutritional needs.

Committed to the promotion of diversity and equity in all our policies and practices, our aims are:
To provide our readers and the international communities of clinicians, educators and scholars working in the field of lactation with current and quality-based evidence, from a broad array of disciplines, including the medical sciences, basic sciences, social sciences and the humanities.
To provide student and novice researchers, as well as, researchers whose native language is not English, with expert editorial guidance while preparing their work for publication in JHL.
In each issue, the Journal of Human Lactation publishes original research, original theoretical and conceptual articles, discussions of policy and practice issues, and the following special features:
Advocacy: A column that discusses a ‘hot’ topic in lactation advocacy
About Research: A column focused on an in-depth discussion of a different research topic each issue
Lactation Newsmakers: An interview with a widely-recognized outstanding expert in the field from around the globe
Research Commentary: A brief discussion of the issues raised in a specific research article published in the current issue
Book review(s): Reviews written by content experts about relevant new publications
International News Briefs: From major international lactation organizations.
