Main article: Breast milk
Throughout the last two trimesters of pregnancy a woman's body produces hormones which stimulate the growth of the milk duct system in the breasts:
Progesterone -- influences the growth in size of alveoli and lobes. Progesterone levels drop along with estrogen levels after birth, triggering the onset of copious milk secretion.

| | | | Breastfeeding - Breast refusal: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - History of breastfeeding In the early years of the human species, breastfeeding was as common as it was for other mammals feeding their young. There were no alternative foods for the infants, and the mother, along with other lactating females, would have no choice but to breastfeed the children. This process is still seen in many developing countries and is known as shared breastfeeding.
The Egyptian, Greek and Roman empires saw women only feeding their own children. However, breastfeeding began to be seen as something too common to be done by royalty, ...

| | | | Breastfeeding - Breast refusal: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - The let-down reflex The let-down reflex, also known as the milk ejection reflex, is caused by the release of the hormone, oxytocin. Oxytocin stimulates the muscles of the breast to squeeze out the milk. Breastfeeding mothers describe the sensation differently, with some feeling a slight tingling, some feeling immense ammounts of pressure and slight pain/discomfort, and still others not feeling anything different.
The reflex is not always consistent, especially at first. The thought of nursing or the sound of any baby can stimulate the let-d ...

| | | | Breastfeeding - Breast refusal: Encyclopedia II - Breastfeeding - Breastfeeding method There are many texts available to new mothers to assist in the establishment of breastfeeding. The baby will usually indicate hunger by crying or moaning and fussing. When the baby's cheek is stroked, the baby will move his or her face towards the stroking and open his or her mouth, demonstrating the rooting instinct. Breastfeeding can make the mother thirsty and can last for up to an hour (usually in the early days, when both mother and baby are inexperienced) – it is therefore common for the mother to replace lost water by drinking during the process.
