A member asked:
If i press my breast, no milk comes out except for pressing nipples and aerola area. does it mean low supply of milk?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Breast milk: No it does not mean low milk supply. Milk is expressed by suction of the nipple, either from the baby nursing or from using a breast pump.

Breast milk supply: Pressing the breast after having nursed your baby may not produce milk at all. However, if it's been a couple hours after nursing, your supply may be deficient.
