Here we shall take a closer look on how is milk produced in breast: 1  Alveoli are the region where breast milk is produced. 2  Ductules are tiny canals that transport milk from alveoli to the actual milk ducts. 3  Milk ducts are a complex network of canals that carry milk from the alveoli and ductules to your new born baby.ormones start playing their parts in producing breast milk. Though the production of milk is controlled by the hormones it is your baby that decides how much and how often he shall require your milk. Full breasts signify a slow milk production. Process of milk production is faster in empty breasts.
