The Truth
For your baby to enjoy your milk, it must be "let down" or released from the internal alveoli.

Here's how it happens: As your baby sucks your nipple, he stimulates the pituitary gland to release oxytocin (DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS OXYS aka Oxycotin )
:dead:(just establishing that now bc I know how some people misread shyt).

(as well as prolactin) into your bloodstream. (The same thing can happen when you merely think of your baby nursing or hear his cries.) When the milk reaches your breast, oxytocin causes the cells around the milk-filled alveoli to contract and squeeze.

The nourishing liquid is emptied into the ducts. When your baby suckles, the combination of his compression of the nipple and areola and the negative pressure he creates by sucking – along with the internal rush of milk from the "letdown" reflex – delivers the milk directly to him.

As your milk flow increases, the contraction of the milk-filled alveoli happens.

Just as nature intended, the more often your baby breastfeeds, the more milk your body will produce

That means those are the hormones that enable a woman to produce and secrete breast milk. If you went to high school you would've learned that.
