Breastfeeding and Lactation.
Lactation is the process of producing and releasing milk from the mammary glands in your breasts . When your baby suckles , it stimulates nerves that tell your body to release prolactin and oxytocin . Oxytocin causes muscle contractions that push out the milk of the alveoli through the milk ducts and prolactin causes the alveoli to make milk .
