eat little, or that which is not nourishing, from the Disease called Pica. Or when they have too many of their courses after Child-bearing, or when they flow in time of giving suck, which they ought not to do; especially violently and beyond their strength. Or when they have immoderate bleeding other waies. Or when they have in time of giving suck an acute disease, which makes them lean, Also when the foulness of the Blood is such that it is brought to the Breasts, for Milk is made of the purest blood which was the Childs food in the womb. Also thickness of the blood as it is the cause of stopping the Courses, hinders increase of the milk wholly, or in part, because it cannot get into the Veins of the Breasts.
Milk also is wanting, when the Veins of the Breasts are stopped by some hard Tumor or other∣wise. Or when there is no pas∣sage in the Nipples. Or when Nipples are wanting which comes from scratching when young Women have itching Breasts, being marriageable, this causeth Ulcers which either stop the passage or leave a Callus or hardness which doth it.
Also the clifts and pains which Women have from their strong-mouth'd Children when they suck may hinder giving suck while they cease.
Notes
-
Want of blood, Foulness or thick∣ness of blood, is the cause of want of Milk.
-
Stoppage of the veins of the Breasts nipples without passage or absent, or hurt, cause the want of giving suck.
