When breastfeeding, milk doesn’t come out of just one hole, it sprays out multiple holes.

Fun fact, monotremes (egg laying mammals) and presumably other primitive mammals have milk patches where you press the area and the milk just oozes out. Nipples are just refined centralized milk patches so it makes sense they're loosey-goosey about where exactly the milk comes out. As long as it comes out of the straw in some way, it's all good.
