According to the World Health Organization, if a baby's monthly weight gain is less than 450g, it means that there is not enough milk.
There are many reasons for breast deficiency, such as lack of sleep, depression, lack of appetite and anemia, which may affect the secretion of breast milk.
During lactation, you need to consume 2500 calories, 80 grams of protein and 20 milligrams of iron every day, so you should eat more food first and actively eat foods rich in high-quality protein and iron.
I was once troubled by the shortage of milk. Later, I ate some milk every day, and slowly the milk caught up. Octopus sparerib soup, pigtail peanut soup, day lily egg soup, crucian carp soup, papaya crucian carp soup, etc. They are all good recipes for increasing milk. If lochia is not exhausted, you can cook millet sesame porridge. I remember that my mother cooked me egg soup every morning when I was confined, which could not only drive away the cold, but also increase milk.
Besides increasing food intake, Ma Bao should supplement about 2L of water (including milk soup) every day. A hormone called oxytocin secreted by Ma Bao can promote the secretion of breast milk. When the baby is breastfeeding, Mimi will be stimulated and the milk will be continuously secreted. Therefore, in the case of little milk, it is necessary to feed the baby frequently in time. At this time, the baby is still young, and many babies need to breastfeed at night, while Ma Bao needs to get up frequently, so Ma Bao also sleeps with the baby during the day to supplement sleep and ensure adequate milk.
In addition, you can give Mimi more massage, promote blood circulation, and also have a certain effect of increasing milk.
