Answer: Prolactin

Explanation: During breastfeeding the anterior pituitary gland in the brain releases hormone prolactin as part of positive feedback mechanism. A mothers alveoli will collect nutrients from the blood and convert them into milk. Another hormone oxytocin, causes the muscles around the breast to eject milk (a let-down reflex) whilst a baby is sucking.
