Breasts don’t always have milk in them. When a person is pregnant, their body makes hormones to get the breasts ready to feed the baby after it’s born. Once the baby is born, the hormones signal the breasts to start making milk. When the baby breastfeeds, milk leaves the breast and the hormones keep signaling the breasts to make more milk.
