Objective: To describe the maternal, neonatal and pregnancy characteristics related to inhibition of lactation (IL) with cabergoline.

Method: We assessed 20,965 occasions of breastfeeding initiation, according to data collected from obstetric records at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona (Spain) between January 2011 and December 2017.

Results: IL decreased over the study period from 8.78% to 6.18% (odds ratio [OR]: 0.93 per year; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 0.90-0.95). Women with a lower educational level (OR: 2.5; 95%CI: 2.0-3.0), mothers living in more depressed areas (OR: 1.08 per 10 extra points over 100; 95%CI: 1.04-1.12), smokers (OR: 2.2; 95%CI: 1.9-2.6), and those with more children (OR: 1.2 for each sibling; 95%CI: 1.1-1.3), preterm birth (OR: 1.8; 95%CI: 1.4-2.3), multiple births (OR: 1.6; 95%CI: 1.2-2.1) and a higher risk pregnancy (OR: 1.3 per risk point; 95%CI: 1.2-1.4) showed a higher prevalence of IL. Compared to women born in Spain, IL was less likely in all other women with the exception of Chinese women (OR: 7.0; 95%CI: 5.7-8.6). These disparities remained during the study period.

Conclusions: Factors related to lower socioeconomic status and poor health were more likely to be associated with IL. The overall use of cabergoline decreased during the study period while inequalities persisted. Taking these inequalities into account is the first step to addressing them.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted maternal and perinatal healthcare worldwide, including in Indonesia. Restrictions on access to health services have forced mothers to adapt to new challenges in breastfeeding during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate mothers' breastfeeding experiences and the role of husbands in providing support during this period.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding the role of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is essential for improving milk production in mammals, as it impacts mammary epithelial cell function during both pregnancy and lactation.
  • YAP1 is highly expressed in the mammary glands of various species, especially in the alveoli during gestation and lactation, and its inhibition negatively affects milk yield and mammary gland structure in mice.
  • Through its regulation of cellular processes, YAP1 interacts with hormones like Prolactin to enhance cell growth and milk components, while being inhibited by Melatonin, highlighting its critical role in lactation.
