Thus, although offspring of lactating mothers on high-protein diet might have the advantage of lower abdominal fat within the second half of life, this benefit seems not to compensate the immense risk of an early sudden death during lactation.

When TGF-β is expressed on an MMTV promoter, the gland is transiently hypoplastic during ductal morphogenesis, but recovers and is able to lactate and support offspring without apparent difficulty [ 11].
In a previous study, we observed the offspring of pregnant and lactating mice fed with 10 µg/kg/d BPA.
Lactating females were biopsied when their offspring were between 2 and 4 days old to ensure that pups and mothers had bonded and established a feeding routine.
For the period in which females were nursing dependent offspring we categorized them as "lactating".
This retrovirus replicates primarily in the mammary epithelium, shedding its progeny into the milk of lactating mothers, so that the virus is acquired by their offspring as a congenital infection.
But now, scientists have shown that it's true when it comes to taste preferences: Women who drank carrot juice while pregnant or lactating cultivated a taste for carrots in their offspring.
These results show that treatment with a cannabinoid agonist decreases maternal care, mainly licking, in lactating rats and is associated with increased fear responses in offspring later in life.
Weaver et al. (Weaver et al., 2009) and Dobony et al. (Dobony et al., 2011) reported field observations of wound healing in lactating female bats, although neither described the fate of their offspring.
