How does milk come out the breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When the baby: Suck on the mother nipple that stimulate the breast to produce the milk. The breast is a gland consisting primarily of connective and fatty tissues that support and protect the milk producing areas of the breast. The milk is produced in small clusters of cells called alveoli. The milk travels down ducts to the nipples.
