The breastfeeding let down, also
called milk ejection, is a reflex or involuntary natural reaction that happens in your body as your baby breastfeeds.
Mothers with an oversupply of
milk face their own set of problems such as engorgement, mastitis or other infections, plugged
milk ducts, painful or forceful
milk ejection (
called letdown), and a baby who's choking or spitting up.
