Maybe give some free advice about: Parenting?
Actually, lots of things can cause an increased production of the milk to leak out. Even the new mother just THINKING about particular subjects can cause the breasts to leak milk. It's absolutely normal and natural. In many cases, the breasts may even spray the milk out.
Within the first few weeks of giving birth, your body is still adjusting to responding to the baby's needs.
When you hear a baby cry, what goes through your head? It needs something. What does it need? Well, it might need a fresh diaper, some comforting, burping, or...food! Your body responds in the best way it knows how.
The baby cries and your body says, "Baby might be hungry! Get ready!"
Hearing a baby that is not yours causes the same reaction because you THINK about your own infant and the needs of that baby when he or she cries out.
This can also happen by smelling your baby, thinking about your baby, holding your baby, and even sitting where you usually feed your baby at. The body just responds in it's natural way. It thinks your baby must be around if you're thinking of it, right? If your thoughts are centered on the baby then maybe it needs something. Your body takes action and gets prepared to feed your baby.
Frequent breastfeeding can cause the body to respond better to these situation. The body gets use to WHEN the milk should be released and WHEN the baby is usually being fed (and needs that milk).
The hormone, oxytocin, is most responsible for it. It's most produced within the few weeks after delivery. It's what causes the cells in your breasts to contract and expel breastmilk for you baby to nurse. It simply helps to push the milk to the nipple. Within the weeks after delivery, your body doesn't really have a handle on when to produce and use this oxytocin so things can get a little wacky.
So, the more you breastfeed, the faster you will see a proper response from your body. It will learn when to use this hormone. It will learn when you do need to expel the milk. It will learn what to respond to and when to respond. New mothers don't know it all ;)
Oh, it also doesn't matter if you're a breastfeeding mother or not. It typically happens with all new mothers because ALL mothers produce some amount of breast milk for their babies. The body doesn't know if you're going to choose to feed the infant another way so it will always produce that amount of milk. You see the issue more in breastfeeding mothers because their milk doesn't dry up as quickly as nonbreastfeeding mothers. Some women have their milk dry up quite early and they no longer have the leaking problem. Brreastfeeding mothers usually keep their milk production strong for quite some time so it takes a little while to adjust as it's being produced and what-not.
Makes sense?
