What does "let down" refer to in breastfeeding?

A. Nighttime feeding
B. Baby sleeping position
C. Milk ejection reflex
D. Formula feeding

The correct answer is: C. Milk ejection reflex

"Let down" in breastfeeding refers to the process of milk being released from the breast. This occurs when the muscles around the milk ducts contract, causing the milk to flow and be available for the baby to consume. Option A, nighttime feeding, is not specific to the process of breastfeeding and can occur at any time during the day. Option B, baby sleeping position, does not have a direct correlation to the process of breastfeeding and is instead focused on the baby's position during sleep. Option D, formula feeding, is an alternative to breastfeeding and does not involve the milk ejection reflex.
