New mum’s boobs leak whenever she hears a PlayStation turn on after she pumped breast milk in front of the telly


MANY mums report that during breastfeeding, if they hear their baby crying they will start to leak milk.

But one new dad has taken to a parenting thread on Reddit to explain that due to his wife’s routine, she produces milk to the sound of their PlayStation starting up, instead.

“We just had a kid and I’m not sure if this belongs here but I can’t stop laughing at it,” he wrote.

“Our son was born early so he’s in the NICU getting stronger and bigger.

“My wife has to use a pump for her breast milk to feed him while he’s in there.

“And when she does it at home she watches Netflix on our PS4.

“I have the original PlayStation startup sound for it to play upon power up.

“Today we discovered that because of her routine, instead of the sound of a baby crying, she starts to lactate at the original Playstation startup noise.

“We tested it a few times, I even played it on my phone and she started leaking. This is hilarious to me, she’s a little miffed.”

Baby Center explain that in the first few weeks of breastfeeding, “hearing your baby cry, thinking about your baby, smelling your baby, or sitting in the chair where you usually breastfeed might be enough to trigger your reflex and cause leaking.”

“These stimuli prompt your body to release oxytocin,” they explain.

“This hormone makes the milk-making lobes of your breasts contract and eject milk toward the nipple.”

Other users on Reddit found the story hilarious, with one commenting: “This is awesome, hands down best read of the morning thus far.”

While another said: “My twins are also in NICU and I’m pumping for them at the moment.

“I had to ask the lactation consultant the other day about it because my trigger is apparently just looking at my pump.

“Not as funny as the PS4, but yeah. I never reacted to the sound of babies or looking at pictures of my babies.

“Just looking at the pump as I get ready. Lol.”
