DON’T PEEK AT THIS IF YOU’RE BREASTFEEDING

Breastfeeding women can find their breasts leak milk when they look at a picture of a newborn.

‘for most women it would need to be a picture of their baby, but it can be stimulated by an image of any baby,’ says independent antenatal educator Bridget supple.

the reaction, known as let-down response, occurs because the sight of the infant triggers the release of the bonding hormone oxytocin from the brain — the same hormone that releases milk for breastfeeding.

supple says applying gentle pressure on the breasts, such as crossing your arms across your chest, can stop it.
