Question: 1 / 400

What is the most essential regulatory mechanism for milk supply?

Limiting feeding times

Using pacifiers regularly

Strong let-down reflex

Frequent thorough removal

Frequent thorough removal is the most essential regulatory mechanism for milk supply because it ensures that the breasts are emptied regularly, signaling to the body to produce more milk as needed. Limiting feeding times or using pacifiers may actually decrease milk supply as the breasts are not being stimulated often enough. A strong let-down reflex may make it easier to express milk, but it is not a regulatory mechanism for milk supply.
