Breastfeeding works in 2 stages. The first stage is pre-birth. Around your second trimester you will begin to make colostrum (this is the first milk you will make and your baby will have). The hormone progesterone will keep the colostrum milk from leaking from your breast and your breast from becoming full. Once you give birth and the placenta is removed from your body the hormones progesterone and estrogen levels will drop. The drop of your progesterone level will start milk production and allow for a let down of milk. This stage the milk is controlled by your hormones. The second stage is where the breast controls the stimulation of milk. As you remove the milk from your breast whether it's removed by a nursing baby or by a pump the removal of milk through the breast is what controls the milk production. The emptier your breast the more milk you will make. When your breast become full of milk the FIL in your breast will slow production down, it's not until your breast are emptied and there are less FIL present that you will continue to make milk. I hope this answers the question lol.

Can breastfeeding cause carpal tunnel syndrome?
I have experienced carpel tunnel syndrome symptoms during breastfeeding, but I have also had the same during the first month of pregnancy (after which the numbness/tingling disappeared and did not re-appear until I was breastfeeding).
