Lactation consists of two phases. The first is the secretion of milk by the mammary gland, which begins during pregnancy and is the result of a hormone called prolactin. The second phase is the process of milk ejection whereby the breast becomes full of milk and is available to the infant. This is called the let-down reflex' and is due to the sucking of a baby on its mother's breast. When a child sucks, impulses go to the mother's brain and posterior pituitary, which in turn produces another hormone, oxytocin, oxytocin acts on the breast and milk starts automatically coming into the baby's mouth. Owing to continuous sucking the milk flow is established and milk may even spurt from the nipple not in use; so, mothers should suckle their babies several times a day to establish lactation successfully.
