A member asked:
I feel that when i breast pump, it took longer time for milk to be expressed. however when baby directly feeds, milk is produced spontaneously. how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones help: Natural latching of the infant sends specific nervous signals to your brain which releases a hormone called Pitocin (oxytocin) that stimulates milk production and excretion, pumping does not result in the same level of response.
