In my practice as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, after ruling out known
causes of delayed lactogenesis such as underactive thyroid, postpartum hemorrhage, or retained
placental fragments, and after applying the very best lactation management techniques, I have documented that only one in a thousand (0.1 %) of new mothers simply do not produce any breast milk at all.
Some autopsy data shows that infants of smokers have signs of established hypoxic - ischemic cellular injury in the brain and the heart which probably occurred in antenatal life, may have been
caused by suboptimal
placental function and may have been sub-clinical, but if the baby continues to be in a vulnerable environment exposed to post-natal passive smoking, this could affect autonomic nervous system function and lead to poor temperature control, and poor heart rate and respiration control.

placental function, and reduced nutrient delivery to the fetus, which may impede fetal growth.
Our finding is broadly consistent with recent estimates for
placental mammals -LSB-(100), but see SM12 (101)-RSB- and thus supports the hypothesis that the K - Pg transition was associated with a rapid species radiation
caused by a release of ecological niches following the environmental destruction and species extinctions linked to an asteroid impact (2, 4, 5, 102).
