An interesting reading today: Scientists are now 3D printing milk-making breast tissue — no surgery, no animal testing. 😮 Such interesting breakthrough in technology and it seems like anything is possible with AI.
It’s wild to think that one day, lab-grown breastmilk could be on shelves like formula in the market. As a lactation consultant, I find this both exciting and full of questions.
Will this help more babies get human milk? Help adoptive mothers feel like they are breastfeeding?
What does it mean for breastfeeding in the future?
Is this a good thing… or are there ethical concerns? Production of breastmilk in the mass market, who are really benefiting from it?
Technology is moving fast, but I hope we remember to center care, informed choice, and real support for moms. 💗 ❤️ The goal of breastfeeding is not only to provide nutritions to baby, but also to help mothers and babies bond — something that technology cannot take away.
Would you try lab-grown breastmilk? What are your thoughts?

🧬 Can 3D-Printed B***s Really Make Milk? Yes - And Boobingit contributor Kiana Van Kempen breaks it down.
In a world-first, scientists have used human breast milk cells to 3D-print living breast tissue capable of producing components of milk.
🍼 Kiana explores how this breakthrough could reshape breastfeeding research, deepen our understanding of lactation challenges, and elevate the importance of ethical women’s health research.
From blocked ducts to breast cancer - this could change everything.
