Research Notes on Breastfeeding Problems: Leaking Milk


Breast Milk Leakage is a challenge that most new mothers encounter, resulting in inconvenience, embarrassment and discomfort. Whether or not a new mother initiates breastfeeding, her body will begin producing breast milk soon after her baby is born. Milk leakage is the uncontrollable release of breast milk from the nipple in response to a reflex in lactating women known as "letdown", or Milk Ejection Reflex. Healthcare providers often tell breastfeeding mothers to expect breast milk leakage for 2-3 weeks postpartum.
