MAMIGEN: estudi sobre lactància

Many women experience pain, low milk supply or unexpected problems, even when everything seems to be going well.

Breastfeeding is the best source of nutrients for babies and protects them against infections and chronic diseases. For mothers, breastfeeding stimulates the contraction of the uterus, reduces the risk of postpartum haemorrhage and, in the long term, reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Although the World Health Organisation recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, over 50% of mothers stop before this time.

The MAMIGEN project studies each woman's genetic information and biological factors to understand why this happens.

We want to be able to predict which mothers will face difficulties and offer personalised solutions and treatments from the very start, to prevent complications.

With your help, we can advance this research and improve mothers' health.
