BREASTFEEDING IN SPACE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Breastfeeding in space presents a unique set of challenges due to microgravity, fluid dynamics, and the physiological changes that occur in both the mother and the infant. This paper explores the key factors that influence breastfeeding in space, including the behavior of milk flow, the suction mechanics, maternal health, and the developmental needs of the infant. Recommendations for further research and future applications in space exploration are discussed.
