This study resolves a long-standing debate regarding how infants extract milk during breastfeeding, demonstrating that it occurs through the development of subatmospheric pressures in the oral cavity rather than through a peristaltic-like mechanism. Using advanced imaging techniques and a 3D biophysical model, the research reveals that the anterior tongue moves as a rigid body while the posterior section undulates in a peristaltic wave, essential for swallowing. The findings highlight the dynamic synchroniz
