Answer:
The oxytocin reflex is also sometimes called the “letdown reflex” or the “milk ejection reflex”. Oxytocin is produced more quickly than prolactin. It makes the milk that is already in the breast flow for the current feed, and helps the baby to get the milk easily.

Answer:
The oxytocin reflex makes the breast milk flow along the ducts, and the action of the baby's tongue presses the milk from the ducts into the baby's mouth. When a baby is well attached his mouth and tongue do not rub or traumatise the skin of the nipple and areola.
