Breast lactation is a very fine production line. When the baby sucks the breast, it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce hormones that secrete milk. The more you smoke, the more you produce. The earlier you smoke, the earlier you have children. ?

If the baby sucks correctly, the number of sucking times is enough; Mother is full of qi and blood, strong, cheerful, sleep in place and balanced in nutrition. Most mothers can use their own milk to raise their babies, and there will be no troubles of lack of milk and mastitis. This is the most perfect state of breastfeeding.

However, reality often backfires. At this time, it is necessary to choose professional scientific methods to intervene in this process.

When is the best time to boil milk?

Early contact and early sucking is the best way to start breastfeeding. It is suggested to start breastfeeding within half an hour after delivery, which can stimulate the pituitary gland to release prolactin for the first time and make the breast lactation.

Some mothers have bilateral breast fullness, induration and pain three days after delivery, and there is milk but the baby can't suck it out. Most of them are due to premature lactation and poor breast suction, which leads to blockage of mammary duct. ?

If proper massage is carried out in the first few days of lactation, especially within 24 hours after delivery, the adhered, closed and twisted mammary duct can be opened and unblocked, which can effectively prevent the above phenomenon and make the later lactation go smoothly.

Common sense of returning milk

There are two main ways to return milk: natural milk return and artificial milk return. Generally speaking, if the lactation time reaches 10 months to 1 year and weaning is normal, the natural weaning method can often be adopted; However, due to various diseases or special reasons, those who are weaned when the breastfeeding time is insufficient 10 months often adopt the artificial milk return method.

In addition, during normal weaning, if there is too much milk, the effect of natural milk return is not good, and the method of artificial milk return can also be used.

(1) naturally return to milk, that is, gradually reduce the frequency of feeding, shorten the feeding time, and at the same time pay attention to drink less soup and eat less milk, so that the milk secretion is gradually reduced to nothing.

(2) Artificial milk return, that is, the method of reducing milk secretion with various milk return drugs.

The art of breastfeeding

If the milk is too little to eat, you should choose lactation. The golden period of postpartum lactation is the second week to the full moon. Postpartum lactation 1 week will lead to the waste of milk and the risk of mastitis, while postpartum lactation in the third or fourth month is far from so effective.

Breastfeeding can't be solved immediately by drinking breast milk soup and pressing a few acupoints. It must be corrected according to the specific reasons of mother's lack of milk, such as incorrect feeding method, obstruction of mammary duct, deficiency of qi and blood, stagnation of liver qi and so on.

Breast-feeding is the guarantee for breast-feeding and breast-feeding.

At any stage of lactation, there may be breast lump or swelling pain, milk deposition, breast duct blockage and other phenomena. In this case, choose to pass milk.

The function of breast dredging is to dredge the blocked breast. The general principle is painless and the problem will be solved.

About 80% of women of childbearing age have breast duct obstruction, which will cause breast swelling and pain, decreased milk secretion and even mastitis during lactation.

Dredging the breast during lactation can effectively avoid milk deposition and nipple injury and prevent mastitis in the future.

Lactation is another high incidence period of mastitis. If the mammary duct is blocked, the milk will flow back, so that the milk will stay in the mammary duct, which will form siltation after a long time. If there is bacterial infection, it will become inflamed and form mastitis.

Therefore, smooth breast is the premise of smooth breastfeeding and breast regression.

Breastfeeding and breastfeeding complement each other.

Milk stasis needs breastfeeding, and breastfeeding should be dialectical. According to the mother's personal physique, it takes seven to ten days or even longer to adjust through traditional Chinese medicine treatment and diet therapy. Under normal circumstances, breast-feeding should be started first, and then breast-feeding.

Mothers with hyperplasia of mammary glands and prone to breast stagnation are advised to do professional breast care during lactation.

Mother's breasts are the baby's granary, and only careful care can give the baby the best food.

Breastfeeding and specific methods of breastfeeding

According to dialectical constitution.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, breast deficiency can be roughly divided into three situations: weakness of qi and blood, stagnation of liver qi, and excessive phlegm and dampness. Therefore, the coping methods should also follow suit. Deficiency, thin milk, soft milk; In fact, the milk is thick and the breasts are painful; The treatment is based on the principle of lactation. Deficiency will supplement and rise, but in fact it will rise sparsely.

Traditional Chinese medicine prolactin

Commonly used Chinese medicines include radix rhapontici, Herba Taxilli, Stigma Maydis, Semen Vaccariae, etc. Both can be used for postpartum hypogalactia's disease, poor lactation, breast swelling and pain, and milk knot. And should be selected according to different physical characteristics, and made into prolactin soup or medicated diet.

Diet and lactation

To ensure adequate water, all kinds of soup drinks are essential. Other foods with good lactation effect include: eggs, brown sugar, peanuts, black sesame seeds and so on. And many vegetables, such as day lily, water bamboo, lettuce, peas, tofu, loofah, etc. It also has a strong prolactin effect.

Meridian massage

Through the cooperation of various techniques such as point, press, massage and massage, it can soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dredge menstruation and promote qi circulation, promote metabolism and improve local blood circulation, which is conducive to the smooth production and secretion of milk.

The function of meridian massage is amazing. Every postpartum mother should regularly do breast massage to dredge, which can not only help increase milk, but also avoid a series of breast problems that are easy to occur during lactation.

1, chapped nipple pain. All new mothers will have chapped nipples. After feeding for two or three times, the nipple will basically blister, bleed and break the skin, and then every time it is bitten, the nipple is like being cut by a knife.

If you can't stand it, it's easy to give up breastfeeding, or reduce the number of breastfeeding, which will "block the milk" and the breasts will not work. . . What should we do?

Let the children smoke more cigarettes.

2, breast agglomeration. So far, my breasts have caked three or four times, and all of them have recurred in similar parts. Generally speaking, if you give your child a hard drive, you can disappear by applying a hard block yourself.

First, the blood test confirmed that I had no inflammatory symptoms, and suggested that I should apply more hot compress+massage+insist on breastfeeding.

In order to avoid caking, there are several points to pay attention to: first, the milk that cannot be eaten must be squeezed out and not lazy. You can't think that children who have added milk don't eat it and can exist in their breasts.

The milk that can't be eaten every day is squeezed out with a breast pump, stored in a breast milk storage bag and put in the refrigerator. The lump never appeared again.

The second is to pay close attention to your breasts and nipples. After the nipple is chapped, we should pay attention to keeping it clean, otherwise bacterial invasion will easily infect mastitis; Once the breast is caked, it should be treated as soon as possible.

Three or four days is not good. Pay attention to whether the lump is red and swollen and whether it has a fever. If yes, go to the hospital for an injection to avoid suppuration and surgery.

I hope that all expectant mothers will pay attention. This is my personal practical experience. Be prepared in advance, you will suffer a lot less, and your baby will be able to breastfeed happily.

Finally, if it is confirmed that the milk is open and the breast is unobstructed, if the milk is still not enough, then the best way is to let the children suck more, suck more, suck more, regardless of time.

Again, breast milk is secreted on demand, and breast milk can be fed on demand.

Therefore, you don't have to pay attention to other people's doubts about your "lack of milk", and you don't have to pay attention to the teaching that "children should eat every two hours". Once the child is found hungry, no matter whether the breast is soft or not, it can be sucked for the child.
