Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for coming to our community with your question.

No. You should not notice the release of milk from your breasts.

Lactation or the process of milk production is linked to hormones.

The hormone oxytocin is produced in response to the birth of a new baby, and it both stimulates uterine contractions and begins the lactation process.

The amount of milk produced is controlled primarily by the hormone prolactin, which is produced in response to the length of time the infant nurses at the breast.

Regards,
Maryann
