How breast feeding occurs

1.	How breast feeding occurs
Answer» Prolactin tells the\xa0milk-making glands in your\xa0breast\xa0to make\xa0breast milk. Oxytocin signals the let-down reflex to release the\xa0milk. 2\ufeff It causes the alveoli to contract and squeeze the\xa0breast milk\xa0out into the\xa0milk\xa0ducts. Prolactin causes your alveoli to take nutrients (proteins, sugars) from your blood supply and turn them into\xa0breast milk. Oxytocin causes the cells around the alveoli to contract and eject your\xa0milk\xa0down the\xa0milk\xa0ducts. This passing of the\xa0milk\xa0down the ducts is called the “let-down” (milk\xa0ejection) reflex.
