Answer 1

I'd say that milk ejection comes first since the milk ejection reflex (let-down reflex) is caused by the release of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin stimulates the muscles of the breast to squeeze out the milk. The reflex is not always consistent, especially intially. The thought of nursing or the sound of any baby can stimulate the milk ejection reflex, causing unwanted leakage, or both breasts giving out milk when one infant is feeding.

Answer 2

Milk Ejection.

Answer 3

Milk ejection is first and then the milk is ingested by the baby
