Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the influence of somatose on the secretion of breast-milk. For centuries, the ideal nourishment for infants has been breast milk due to its nutritional and protective components. Unfortunately, not all mothers have the capacity to breastfeed their children.

Somatose has proven effective in restoring and maintaining sufficient milk flow, even in cases where traditional methods have failed.
