Among all kinds of nannies, I heard many nannies complain that there is too little milk and they don't know how to milk.
Indeed, the lack of milk is a problem that many treasure mothers will encounter after childbirth, but for newborn babies, breast milk is the most cost-effective food in terms of nutrition and price. In addition to supplementing the energy and nutrition needed by the baby, breast milk can also improve the baby's resistance, make the newborn baby adapt to the environment quickly and reduce the probability of being infected by the virus, which is why many treasure mothers insist on chasing milk even if they don't have milk, hoping to do so.
However, many treasure moms have fallen into a misunderstanding since they started chasing milk. They will listen to their elders and choose to drink traditional milk soup to promote lactation, but in the end they find that milk has not kept up with them except their fat and bloated bodies. This is because these milk soups are all fat, and it is easy to get fat if you drink too much after childbirth. If it is serious, it will cause milk blockage and mastitis, so you must never blindly follow the trend and drink milk soup.
Now confinement pays attention to science, and we want more milk. In fact, in addition to the soup with big fish and big meat, some vegetarian soups also have the function of lactagogue, and they are light and nutritious and won't gain weight, which can not only improve the quality of milk, let the baby eat full every day, but also make Ma Bao recover quickly after delivery, killing two birds with one stone!
1, day lily bean curd soup
Ingredients: tofu, day lily, lean meat.
Practice: Wash the day lily, cut the tofu into small pieces, marinate the lean meat with salt, put water in the pot, boil the tofu first, then add the day lily and lean meat, continue to cook and season with salt.
Benefits: Daylily can promote lactation. With lean meat and tofu, it can supplement protein. Low-fat nutrition, refreshing and not greasy.
2, mushrooms, loofah and egg soup
Ingredients: eggs, mushrooms, loofah.
Practice: Peel the loofah and cut it into pieces, add water to the pot, first add loofah and mushrooms to boil, then add eggs to continue boiling, and add salt to taste.
Benefits: Luffa can be milked, and Lentinus edodes is rich in nutrition, which can supplement the vitamins lost after childbirth. With the addition of eggs, the nutritional taste is more abundant.
3. Wu Hongtang
Ingredients: red-skinned peanuts, red dates, red beans, medlar and brown sugar.
Practice: soak red beans and peanuts in clear water for several hours in advance, add appropriate amount of clear water to the pot, put all the ingredients in, cook for about an hour and add brown sugar to taste.
Benefits: These ingredients can replenish qi and blood, because many women lose a lot of qi and blood after childbirth and are weak, which easily leads to insufficient milk secretion. So as long as qi and blood are replenished in time, milk will follow.
4. Pea protein powder
Ingredients: milk, pea protein powder.
Practice: After the milk is warm, add 2 spoonfuls of protein powder and stir well.
Benefits: Peas are a natural milking equipment. Pea protein extracted by wet method can supplement the body with full-price high-quality protein, which is beneficial to the mother's breast milk secretion and improve the quality of milk. Good milk is more conducive to the baby's development. Moreover, it contains 0 fat and 0 plant protein, so you won't get fat if you drink too much.
During confinement, I want to keep my milk smooth and insist on doing three things every day:
1) a lot.
The baby's sucking is a natural "promoting emulsion", but this is ignored by many treasure mothers. The baby's sucking can stimulate the pituitary gland to produce prolactin, which makes the brain send a signal to produce more milk. If the sucking frequency is less, the milk will gradually decrease.
2) Stay optimistic.
Although many things after childbirth have to be handled by Mabaolai, which makes Ma Bao feel bored, Ma Bao still needs to keep a cheerful mood, which is conducive to the secretion of postpartum milk.
3) Have a good rest
Adequate rest is not only conducive to the physical recovery of the postpartum treasure mother, but also makes the milk secrete more, so mothers should also let their families share the task of taking care of the baby appropriately and ensure a reasonable rest every day.
