What should I do if the milk is insufficient? Postpartum placental discharge, estrogen secretion decreased sharply, while prolactin secretion increased. Coupled with the stimulation of babies sucking nipples, raw milk is continuously produced for newborns to suck. If the baby is still not satisfied after drinking milk, then the mother is short of milk. Lack of milk is a headache for many new mothers. Because of lack of experience, mothers will become at a loss. So what if there is not enough milk?
1, strengthen suction: breast-feeding your baby frequently, avoid all complementary foods, boiled water and fruit juice, and insist on only breast-feeding, which can stimulate breast milk secretion. This is because the baby sucks the nipple, which can promote the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thus increasing the secretion of milk.
2, both breasts should be fed: this not only ensures that the baby gets enough breast milk, but also fully and evenly stimulates the secretion of breast milk.
3, change the side feeding: every time you feed, change the side for about 2 ~ 3 times, which can not only arouse the baby's interest in sucking milk, but also stimulate both breasts to secrete milk at the same time to ensure that the baby eats enough breast milk. Generally, the baby eats 10 minute, and then eats for 2 ~ 3 minutes after changing sides. Mother has to change sides every time she feeds.
4, mother's diet balance: all kinds of nutrients in milk come from the mother's body, if the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal secretion of milk. Try to eat all kinds of natural foods with different nutrients; Try to drink a glass of water or juice before each feeding.
5, maintain a good mood: under the influence of physiological factors and environmental factors after delivery, mood fluctuations are large, and often there will be a state of depression, which will restrict breast milk secretion. Medical experiments show that when the lactating mother is depressed, the milk yield will decrease sharply.

There are many ways to promote lactation, and the intensity of action is different. There are some precautions that mothers need to pay attention to so as not to affect the effect of lactation.
How does postpartum hypogalactia prevent postpartum hypogalactia? Can it be prevented and cured? We can start with the details of life, take care as soon as possible, adjust the physical condition of lactating mothers in time, and prevent postpartum hypogalactia. To prevent postpartum hypogalactia, we can start from the following aspects:
1, have sex with the mother and baby after delivery, and start breastfeeding as soon as possible. It is found that the early breast milk yield and lactation quantity are largely related to the establishment of lactation reflex sooner or later. Breastfeeding within one hour after delivery will lead to more lactation and longer lactation time.
2. Develop good breastfeeding habits. Newborn babies need breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, suck one breast first and then the other. If not, the mother should express excess milk. In addition, breast-feed regularly. The more times you feed, the more milk you secrete.
3. Pay attention to nutrition and rest. Breast-feeding mothers should pay attention to balanced nutrition, take in all aspects of nutrition, eat less meals, drink more soup, and eat more breast-feeding foods, such as peanuts and day lilies. But not too nourishing and greasy. At the same time, pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep.
4. Mediate emotions and maintain an optimistic and comfortable mood.
5. When you find that there is little milk, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and the sooner you treat it, the better. Lactation time is too long, mammary epithelial cells atrophy, and the treatment effect is not good.
