What are the causes of postpartum hypogalactia?
Once pregnant in October, with the joy of childbirth, the problem of breastfeeding follows. Some mothers have little or no postpartum milk, which is called "lack of milk" or "lack of milk". Postpartum hypogalactia often makes babies cry and mothers worry, which brings troubles to many families. In an age when material life is so rich, why is there the phenomenon of postpartum hypogalactia? The reasons leading to postpartum hypogalactia mainly include the following aspects:
1, failure to breastfeed or premature addition of formula milk powder.
If you don't breastfeed as early as possible after delivery, or if you breastfeed for too short a time and too few times, it will lead to postpartum hypogalactia. Some mothers worry that their babies don't have enough to eat. Besides breastfeeding, they add infant formula. Because the baby doesn't feel hungry after eating other foods, the demand for breast milk decreases, and the milk secretion will be less and less.
2. The diet structure is unreasonable.
Many young mothers pursue slim figure before pregnancy, eat less, and have a simple diet. Many people have long been partial to eating less, and malnutrition has hindered breast development and affected milk secretion. Some mothers are eager to lose weight after delivery, which leads to the lack of nutrients such as protein and fat in the body. Insufficient nutrition will also lead to reduced milk secretion.
3. Mental factors.
Medical research shows that the hormones in the mother's body will change after delivery, and these changes will affect the mother's mood. Being a mother for the first time may be difficult to adapt to psychology for a while, and long-term bad mood will affect the secretion of milk and lead to lack of milk.
4, the role of the bra.
Studies have shown that clothing fibers may block the mammary duct. After pregnancy, the breast swells. If the bra used before delivery is too small and too tight, it will oppress the breast and cause blockage of the mammary duct, thus affecting milk secretion.
Tips:
1 After giving birth, pregnant women need to mix their diets well, whether to restore their vitality or to have enough milk to feed their babies. However, many pregnant women don't know the reason. They mainly eat vegetables and fruits, but the real rice is rarely eaten, which not only easily leads to insufficient milk, but also makes the nutrition in the body unbalanced. Therefore, pregnant women should have a good diet, and staple foods such as rice and meat are indispensable, and vegetables and fruits are even more indispensable.
2. Studies have shown that the milk secretion of parturient women is related to their postpartum mental state. Many parturients are depressed due to work or family reasons after delivery, which makes the milk insufficient. Therefore, the parturient needs to maintain a happy mood, so as to ensure adequate milk.
3. Some parturients have no or insufficient milk, which may also be due to the lack of knowledge about breastfeeding. Some women let their babies suck several times and find that there is no milk coming out, so they won't let their babies suck again, but for a long time, they will make their breasts secrete less milk. Because the baby sucks many times, it can stimulate the breast glands to secrete milk. However, if the breast is not stimulated, the secretion of natural milk will be less. Therefore, the mother should let the baby suck the nipple more.
How to maintain postpartum breasts?
1, don't let the baby sleep with the nipple, many treasure moms like to let the baby sleep with the nipple, so that the child won't cry. In fact, this is very bad. The nipple will be eroded when it is held in the baby's mouth for a long time, and it should be full before the baby falls asleep.
2, choose the right breast pump, Bao Ma will definitely choose to use the right breast pump to feed the child, but if the strength of the breast pump is too strong, it will hurt the nipple, so Bao Ma must be careful when choosing the breast pump, preferably manually, so as to prevent rough skin and even nipple laceration.
3, do more chest exercises, doing this exercise can prevent the chest from expanding and sagging, and treasure moms can exercise their pectoralis major and arm muscles when taking care of the baby's space. For example, push the wall with both hands and chest width, and push the body back and forth with elbows, which is very helpful for keeping the chest.
4, the diet should be balanced, and if you want to keep your chest so elastic and keep your body unchanged, you should also work harder on your diet. You can eat more foods containing estrogen and collagen, such as soy products that are usually common, as well as fish and pig's feet.
5, master the correct feeding posture, if the baby's posture is not correct when feeding the baby, it is easy to cause mastitis, so when feeding the baby, the baby must master the correct feeding posture, you can lie down and feed, you can also hold it, but you must take turns to let the baby suck milk.
6. You can't wean quickly. If you want to make your breast shape better, you must not wean quickly when your child is a little older.
