Abstract: Breastfeeding is a key factor influencing infants' short- and long-term health, thus making it important to monitor breast function. This article reviews the changes in Na + concentration and Na +/K + value in breast milk during secretory activation and at physiological and pathological conditions, aiming to provide a reference for early clinical assessment and intervention of physiological or pathological changes in the breast during lactation and to improve the outcome of breastfeeding.
