Human female breasts six months into a pregnancy.

A breast is an important part of the female human body. Most women have two breasts on their chest. Breasts in young girls are flat, and when they become teenagers, their breasts grow.

Part of the breasts is the mammary glands, which make the milk used by mothers for feeding babies. After a woman has a baby, her breasts make natural milk. When this happens it is called lactation. Feeding babies milk is called breastfeeding or nursing.

In most places, breasts are private and covered with clothing, but in some places, women are allowed to show breasts in public. Breast can also be referred as "boobies" or "boobs".
