Additional information

Anatomy of the lactating breast
When performing ultrasounds on the lactating breast, Dr. Donna Geddes of the University of Western Australia began to question the anatomical diagrams presented in the textbooks. The standard model of the breast was based on anatomical dissections performed on cadavers by Sir Astley Cooper in 1840. Further investigations were carried out, supported by Medela, and the results redefined our understanding of the lactating breast.

key findings

Research at the University of Western Australia has led to some groundbreaking discoveries that overturn most of what was previously understood about the anatomy of the lactating breast.

The main findings were:

The number of duct openings is 4 –18 (previously 15 – 20)
The branching ducts are located closer to the nipple.
Lactiferous sinuses, conventionally described in the literature, do not exist.
The ducts can be located close to the surface of the skin, which makes them easily compressed.
Much of the glandular tissue is located 30 mm from the nipple.
Medela created an image to demonstrate the new findings and this image is now used as a resource in various manuals and websites.

Relevance to practice
There are three main considerations regarding the practice of breastfeeding:

It is important that a quick first ejection of milk occurs for efficient milk expression.
The funnels must be the correct size for each mother.
Hand positioning is important when supporting the breast during extraction.

1. A quick and efficient first ejection of milk is important for perfect milk expression

In the ducts, there is not a large amount of milk stored, as lactiferous sinuses were not seen there, and therefore, before milk ejection, very little milk can be extracted. A baby is known to initially utilize a rapid sucking action, which stimulates milk ejection ("milk let-down") Research reveals that a quick and efficient first milk ejection leads to more subsequent milk ejections. In fact, when using a breast pump with 2-Phase technology, with the vacuum set for maximum comfort, 80% of the milk is expressed in the first seven minutes (Kent et al 2008)

It is therefore important to ensure that the baby latches on to the breast to help initiate milk ejection during breastfeeding, as well as to use a breast pump that can efficiently stimulate milk ejection.

2. The funnels must be the correct size for each mother

A correctly fitting funnel prevents compression of the superficial milk ducts, contributing to efficient emptying of the breast.

3. Hand positioning: when supporting the breast or during extraction

It is important to pay attention to the positioning of the hands and fingers during breastfeeding or pumping, as 65% of the glandular tissue is situated in the first 30 mm of the nipple and the ducts are quite superficial. Pressure on the ducts and tissue can prevent milk from flowing freely, which can lead to blockages, and in turn lead to engorgement and ultimately a reduction in milk production. When milk is not removed from the breast, a protein called Lactation Inhibitory Factor (FIL) is produced. When the amount of FIL increases, a signal is sent to the hypothalamus to reduce prolactin and, consequently, milk production. To prevent this from happening, mothers should be advised on the correct way to position the baby, so as not to put too much pressure on the breast during a feed or pump.
