Milk, however, is not merely a product of the mother and her environment. Mother’s milk reflects a complex physiological and behavioral negotiation betweenthe mother and the infant. This negotiation begins during pregnancy when the
mammary gland functionally develops and is potentially sensitive to fetal signals (Hinde and Milligan 2011) . Postnatally, mothers can behaviorally restrict nipple access, thereby down-regulating milk synthesis, and infants can throw tantrums to gain nipple access, consequently up-regulating milk synthesis (Hinde and Milligan 2011) . Lastly, what an infant does with the milk he ingests is crucial to understanding what milk is. Indeed, determining milk’s myriad in fl uences on infant developmental trajectories is critical not just from an evolutionary perspective; it also has implications for global public health. Despite the bene fi ts to be gained from such research, at the time of publication of this book, we still know relatively little about infant development as a function of mother’s milk, and the ways that milk shapes infant behavior is particularly under-explored.
