Breast Milk Leakage Explained | Causes, Hormones & What’s Normal in Breastfeeding

Breast milk leakage is a common and completely normal experience for many breastfeeding mothers, especially during pregnancy and the early postpartum period. In this video, we explain why milk leakage happens, what triggers it, and how long it may last. You’ll learn how hormonal changes—particularly the release of oxytocin—play a key role in spontaneous milk flow. Emotional cues such as hearing a baby cry, smelling your baby, or physical contact can all activate the let-down reflex and cause leakage, even when feeding is not taking place. We also clarify an important misconception: breast milk leakage is not a reliable indicator of milk supply. Some mothers leak frequently, others never leak at all, and both situations can still be associated with healthy milk production. Finally, we discuss when milk leakage is considered normal and when it’s important to seek medical advice, especially for individuals who are not breastfeeding or postpartum. This video is designed to provide reassurance, education, and clarity for nursing parents navigating their breastfeeding journey. ⸻ breast milk leakage leaking breast milk breastfeeding education let down reflex oxytocin breastfeeding postpartum body changes is breast milk leakage normal breastfeeding hormones milk supply myths lactation explained breastfeeding tips new mom education postpartum breastfeeding breastfeeding science maternal health
