After I gave birth to the baby, I didn't start breastfeeding until the morning of the third day after delivery because of the pain in the caesarean section. At first, there was little milk. I even planned to let my baby drink milk powder, but the doctor said it was normal and told me not to give up. Slowly, I have been mixed feeding until the baby is about 2 months old. When the baby chooses breast milk instead of bottle, I think my breast milk is enough for the baby, and the baby's development index is within the normal range.
Of course, during this period, we should also breastfeed properly. Only by starting from all aspects can milk be secreted more and more.
Then, there is not enough milk in the month, how to chase milk? 1. Eat more foods beneficial to lactation, such as crucian carp soup, sparerib soup, trotter soup, chicken feet soup, mutton soup, etc. Supplementing high-quality protein and enough water, so that nutrient absorption is enough, the quality of milk will naturally improve.
If the wet nurse doesn't like soup and water, she can also eat lean fried loofah, lotus root slices, prawns, daylily and so on. It can also effectively promote lactation.
Considering that she is still in confinement, the new mother should be careful not to be too greasy, not to eat too salty, and not to add seasonings casually.
2. At the same time, the emulsion should ensure smooth mammary glands. New mothers can usually use warm towels to compress their breasts, or let them dredge their breasts during lactation to ensure the smooth secretion of milk.
3. If you feel that there is less milk, don't give up breast milk or reduce the number of breastfeeding. Be sure to stick to breast milk and let the baby suck more. Only by smoking more can the mother's body receive the signal from the brain and let the brain secrete prolactin.
4. You must increase your confidence during breastfeeding, and don't want to give up from time to time. If you don't have this will, your body will naturally react and stop secreting too much milk.
In short, the lack of milk in the month is a normal phenomenon, and it will get worse if it is fed. The worst plan is mixed feeding. Don't give up breastfeeding!
