Many pregnant women worry that their babies have no milk. In fact, during pregnancy, the breast is already preparing to secrete milk, but lactation is inhibited. When the postpartum placenta is discharged, the levels of prolactin and progesterone in the placenta decrease, and prolactin is released quickly, which promotes the production of milk and begins lactation. After the baby is born, if you want to realize breast milk, you must establish lactation reflex. Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, let the baby suck breast milk as soon as possible after birth, and it is best to start breastfeeding within 1 hour, which is the so-called "start breastfeeding as soon as possible". According to the recommendation of American Academy of Pediatrics, if the baby can be placed on the mother's chest within 1 hour, it will be more conducive to the establishment of breastfeeding. At this time, the baby is more sensitive and energetic. If the baby is still looking for breast milk after 1 hour, he may have dozed off. If the baby is not allowed to find breasts as soon as possible, it will bring greater challenges to the establishment of breastfeeding.
After the baby finds the breast, if the nipple can be connected correctly, the secretion of prolactin can be promoted by strong sucking, and the nerve endings of the nipple can be stimulated in the process of sucking the breast, and the nerve impulses can be transmitted to the pituitary gland to produce prolactin, thus establishing lactation reflex. Sometimes when the baby cries, the mother's breast milk will be sprayed out, which is the so-called "milk spray reflex". However, the establishment of lactation reflex is inseparable from the baby's sucking and the release of prolactin in the blood, and the milk begins to secrete.
Therefore, there is no basis for pig's trotters to want milk! Starting breastfeeding as soon as possible, correct feeding posture and skills are very important for establishing breast milk, and the confidence of mothers is also related to the success of breast feeding!
