Studies have confirmed that lactation mainly depends on the baby's sucking stimulation, which promotes pituitary prolactin secretion to increase and pituitary prolactin inhibitory factor secretion to decrease within 2 months after delivery 1 week. Therefore, despite the physical and mental fatigue after delivery, the breasts may not feel full, but it is best to insist on feeding the baby 30 minutes after delivery, so that the baby can suck the breast as soon as possible and stimulate the breast to secrete milk as soon as possible. It is best to share a bed with the baby, so that it is convenient for the mother to let the baby often suck the breast. Repeated irregular sucking can stimulate maternal brain to secrete and release prolactin. In addition, as long as the baby cries, it will be picked up and fed to promote the secretion of prolactin in the maternal body and increase the secretion of milk.

2. Pay attention to a happy postpartum mood.

Mental factors have certain influence on postpartum lactation. Therefore, we should pay attention to maintaining a good mood after delivery, temporarily forget our troubles, leave housework behind and fully recuperate. Don't always worry too much about whether the baby is full or not and whether it is developing normally. Spiritual excitement and pleasure will promote the increase of prolactin level in the body, thus increasing milk as soon as possible.

Massage breast

After delivery, the breast is initially swollen due to venous filling, and only a small amount of colostrum is secreted at this time. Newborns often can't suck much milk and often don't want to suck any more. But the maternal breasts are very painful, and the pain is unbearable when touched. Sometimes babies are not always able to suck. Experience shows that breast massage is a very effective way to get milk.

Methods Before breastfeeding, cover the left and right breasts with wet towels, press the nipple and areola with both hands, and gently massage clockwise or counterclockwise for 10- 15 minutes. Massage can not only reduce the feeling of breast fullness, but also promote milk secretion. Because the role of breast massage is equivalent to the baby's sucking stimulation to the nipple. This stimulation can penetrate the hypothalamus through nerve fibers and promote the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland; Reflex causes the pituitary gland to release oxytocin, stimulates the contraction of mammary gland and mammary duct, and injects milk into the milk delivery duct leading to nipple, thus promoting milk secretion.

Eating prolactin food

Some foods can promote milk secretion. If there is no milk after delivery, or there is little or no milk, don't give up the opportunity of breastfeeding easily. You can also try crucian carp soup or peanut porridge to promote lactation.

Making method of crucian carp soup:

500 grams of fresh crucian carp, descaling and eviscerating, adding 6 grams of medulla tetrapanacis to cook soup, eating fish and drinking soup twice a day for 3-5 days. Carassius auratus can harmonize middle energizer, tonify deficiency, ooze dampness and promote diuresis, warm middle energizer and promote qi circulation, and has the effects of reducing swelling, promoting diuresis and promoting lactation; Through grass and milk, with crucian carp, the effect is better, but crucian carp soup should be light to eat

Making method of peanut porridge:

Raw peanuts (with powder coating)100g, rice 200g, peanut paste and boiled porridge. Drink porridge twice (morning and evening or morning and evening 1 time) for 3 days. Peanut is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, and has the functions of invigorating spleen, stimulating appetite, regulating qi and promoting lactation.

Extended data:

Breastfeeding (lactation) is to stimulate the secretion of breast milk through professional scientific massage when breast milk can not meet the needs of children. The principle of massage and lactation is to regulate qi and promote blood circulation, relax tendons and activate collaterals.

Basic techniques such as point, press, knead and take are commonly used in lactation, but in practical application, all kinds of techniques should cooperate with each other. Massage prolactin therapy can promote local capillary dilation, increase vascular permeability, accelerate blood flow, improve local blood circulation, and is beneficial to the secretion and discharge of milk. At the same time, massage can soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis, soothe the nerves and invigorate qi, and regulate the function of human viscera by dredging meridians and promoting qi circulation, thus promoting the metabolism of tissues and organs, promoting milk secretion and meeting the needs of infants. Another common way to promote lactation is to eat foods that can promote milk secretion.
