Divyanka Tripathi on breastfeeding: milk leaks when baby cries

When a mommy feeds her baby milk, many things happen in her body that people seldom talk about.

Divyanka Tripathi is a famous TV actress and a new mommy of twin baby boys.

She made a video to share things nobody told her before she became a mommy.

When her baby cries, her body knows it is feeding time, and milk starts coming out by itself, even if the baby is not feeding yet.

This is called leaking, and it can feel embarrassing.

A doctor named Dr Gaana Sreenivas says this happens because the brain sends a special helper called oxytocin that tells the milk to flow.

If mommies wait too long to feed or pump, their breasts can become very sore and painful, and sometimes they can get an infection called mastitis.

That is why doctors say mommies should pump milk on time and ask family, friends, and employers for help.

Divyanka wants people to talk about these things so mommies do not feel alone or embarrassed.
