During pregnancy, the hormone levels in women are rising, but after delivery, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the mother's blood are greatly reduced, and prolactin begins to play a role in stimulating milk secretion. Therefore, after giving birth to a baby, Ma Bao will naturally have milk secretion.
