We all know that after a pregnant mother gives birth to a baby, she will breastfeed her baby and will need milk. Since each mother’s body is different, the milk situation is also different. Some mothers There will be less milk, and some mothers will have less milk. So if the milk during confinement is not enough, will there be more after confinement? Let’s take a closer look below! Will there be more after confinement if the milk is not enough during confinement?

If you take good care of yourself, your breast milk will increase.

After confinement, I tried my best to calm down my mood, drank a lot of soups and water every day, and also had some experience in raising babies, so my breast milk gradually increased.

Breast milk is less during confinement, so mothers don’t need to worry too much. The baby's needs are not very high during confinement. After confinement, as the child grows up, the child's demand will gradually increase, and the milk supply will also gradually increase.

First of all, you need to make sure that it is indeed due to insufficient breast milk. Some people feel that their breasts do not feel swollen. Not long after the baby eats, he cries again and breastfeeds again. They think that they do not have enough breast milk. In fact, you still need to observe the frequency of your baby's urination and defecation. If you urinate no less than 6 times, you can basically conclude that you are full. Of course, if you are sure that you have insufficient breast milk, you can also catch up after confinement. How to increase breast milk after confinement

① The baby must be stimulated by frequent sucking.

The sucking action will send a stimulus signal to the mother's body: breast milk is insufficient, and more should be secreted. After the mother's brain receives this signal, it will make adjustments. As long as the mother's nutrition is sufficient and the breast ducts are unobstructed, the more she will suck in, the more she will produce.

② Keep a happy mood and get enough sleep.

Two days ago, a 10-month-old mother asked me: Why do I sometimes have more milk and sometimes less? Emotions and sleep are big influencing factors. When you are in a good mood and have enough sleep, your milk supply will naturally increase. However, if you are in a bad mood and have a serious lack of sleep, you may not be able to feed your baby enough. Both of these points are very important. Factors affecting lactation.

③ Family members should be considerate of each other and help new mothers after childbirth.

The understanding and support of family members is very important for postpartum mothers. Therefore, Jingma recommends that family members should be more considerate of each other and allow new mothers to rest more, especially not to cause unnecessary problems to nursing mothers. pressure, so as not to affect the secretion of milk due to bad mood.

④ Mothers must have confidence in themselves.

It is important for mothers to have confidence in breastfeeding. If the mother feels that she can succeed in chasing milk, then she will at least be successful, because there is enough belief to support the new mother to do this; but if the new mother herself is not confident, it will inevitably reduce the success rate of chasing milk.

Therefore, if breast milk is insufficient during the confinement period, as long as reasonable and appropriate lactation methods are used after the confinement period, the milk can be secreted more abundantly to meet the growth and development needs of the baby. So, mom, don’t give up easily, at least give it a try. What is the relationship between the amount of milk after postpartum period

The amount of milk has several factors that affect the amount of milk. Mothers should pay attention to:

First, the mother's emotions will affect the amount of milk. secretion. Breastfeeding has many benefits, such as increasing the child's immunity. Save money, help mom recover as quickly as possible, etc. Therefore, mothers should have confidence in themselves and maintain a happy and relaxed mood. Communicate more with your family.

Second, how much the child sucks is also a factor. The child sucks milk, and the more he sucks, the more he sucks. Mothers can let their children breathe more. Stimulates mother's lactation.

Third, unblocked mammary glands will also affect milk secretion. Mom should rub it more often and apply it with a hot towel. Especially when breast milk is engorged, if it is not cleared in time, the milk may flow back.

Fourth, the mother’s nutrition will also affect the quality and quantity of milk. So, mom, if your milk supply is low, supplement your protein intake by eating more eggs, crucian carp soup, pig's trotters soup (don't stew pig's trotters with soybeans), noodles, black-bone chicken soup, and pigeon soup.

Fifth, how well a mother rests also affects her milk secretion. Therefore, mothers must rest more and not be too tired. Precautions for increasing breast milk after confinement

1. Go to a regular hospital for a check-up to see if you need to clear your breasts to avoid breast milk not coming out.

2. Maintain a happy mood and try not to let negative emotions take over your body and mind.

3. Although it is impossible to guarantee adequate sleep, try to give yourself as much rest as possible.

4. Strengthen nutrition, eat smaller meals more frequently, and drink more clear soups. For example, crucian carp and tofu soup, papaya stewed in milk, pork ribs and lotus root soup, etc. If you feel the soup is too greasy, you can skim off the oil and drink it through a straw.

5. Massage or apply heat to the breasts before feeding. After feeding, when supply and demand are not balanced, use a breast pump to suck out the remaining milk. (The breast pump can only suck out the milk from the front part, so you need to massage the top of the chest while sucking milk)

6. Adopt the correct feeding posture to let the baby suck more. The baby is a gold medal lactation master. .

7. If you are not sure whether you will regain breast milk, try to eat as little food as possible, such as ginseng, leeks, bitter melon, etc.

In addition, although breast milk is the best food for the baby, if you are a mother who is born with too few milk ducts (less than 1% of the milk is due to glandular reasons), do not force yourself and let the baby eat milk powder. It is also feasible.

In short, after confinement, breast milk may increase, so don’t worry too much.
