When a woman is breastfeeding, it is best to use breast milk to feed her baby, because it is more beneficial to the baby's health. What is the reason for not having milk during lactation? Why do pregnant women have no milk after delivery? There are many reasons for the lack of milk, which can be recovered by some methods. Let's learn more about the specific reasons of ginger and the conditioning methods.
1, reasons for lack of milk during lactation
1. Mental factors
In modern society, objective factors such as fast pace of life and heavy work pressure often make people's emotions fluctuate greatly, such as surprise, irritability, depression, sadness and other bad emotions will happen at any time. Emotional fluctuation can affect the activity of pituitary gland through the cerebral cortex of parturient, inhibit the secretion of prolactin, and lead to postpartum hypogalactia.
2. Endocrine disorders
The female pituitary gland secretes a prolactin, which makes the mature mammary gland secrete milk and maintains its secretion activity. Endocrine disorder will affect the activity of female pituitary gland, inhibit the secretion of prolactin, and lead to lactation deficiency.
3. Unhealthy diet
Some women pay great attention to figure, even during pregnancy, they eat very little, or eat too much fruits and vegetables and ignore meat and eggs. This phenomenon of partial eclipse will lead to the lack of protein, fat and other nutrients in the maternal body, which will affect the secretion of postpartum milk.
4. Lack of correct understanding of breastfeeding
Some pregnant women are worried that breast-feeding will affect their body shape, unwilling to breast-feed their children, or reluctant to breast-feed, the number of breast-feeding is few, the nipple lacks the stimulation of sucking, and the maternal milk will be less and less.
5. Underwear is not suitable
If the bra used before delivery is too small and inappropriate, it will limit the development of the breast, and there may be insufficient milk after delivery. In addition, some fiber substances in the bra will also have a certain impact on milk secretion.
6. Poor maternal health
Some parturients are in poor health, eat little or have excessive partial eclipse; Some maternal diseases, such as anemia, liver disease, malnutrition and chronic diarrhea, will affect the normal secretion of milk.
2, the correct way of breastfeeding
(a) actively carry out breast maintenance before pregnancy
From the fifth month of pregnancy, the nipple and areola are often scrubbed with soap and water, and a layer of oil is coated on the cleaned nipple and areola to make the breast skin tough gradually; Cover the breast with a hot towel and gently hold it down, and massage around the breast with your fingertips in a circle; Wear a loose bra to prevent breast dysplasia caused by tightness and the cilia on the bra blocking the mammary duct; Apply grease to the nipple after each bath, gently touch the nipple with your thumb and forefinger, and ask the doctor for an effective method to correct invagination or flat nipple as soon as possible.
(2) Give the baby milk as soon as possible after delivery.
According to the new regulations of the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund, the baby should be weaned as much as possible 30 minutes after delivery, and the newborn and mommy should be in the same bed, so that the baby can be fed on demand according to the principle of irregular and quantitative breastfeeding, so that the baby can get the most precious colostrum. Although mommy may be physically and mentally exhausted and her breasts don't feel bloated, she must let her baby suck her breasts as soon as possible so as not to lose the best opportunity.
(3) breast-feeding the baby at any time.
At first, there is no need to rigidly stipulate the number, interval and feeding amount of breast-feeding. Instead, the baby should pick up the breast-feeding whenever it cries or feels that it is time to feed, and eat as much as the baby can. This will increase the secretion of prolactin in mommy's body, thus increasing the amount of lactation, and also prevent mommy from mastitis and avoid affecting the baby's breast-feeding. If mommy is weak or the wound hurts, she can use the lateral position to feed her baby, but it is not advisable to lie down and feed her baby often in the future, otherwise it will affect the baby's mandibular development and cause deformity in the future.
(D) Master the correct nursing skills
In the process of feeding, mommy should be relaxed and comfortable, and the baby should be quiet. Mommy sits on a low stool or beside the bed. If she is in a higher position, she can put one foot on a pedal, or lean on a chair with a pillow on her lap to raise the baby. Put the baby on his leg, with his head resting on Mommy's arm. Mommy holds his back and little ass with her arm, so that her face and small chest are close to Mommy, and her chin is close to her breast. Mommy holds up the breast with the palm of her hand, first stimulates the baby's skin around her mouth with the nipple, and when the baby opens her mouth, she takes advantage of the opportunity to send the nipple and areola together into the baby's mouth; It is very important for the baby to fully contain most of the nipple and areola. Otherwise, it is impossible to get milk just by holding the nipple and sucking, and the baby will try his best to suck the nipple to get milk. Mommy will feel terrible pain and the nipple will be easily sucked by the baby. If mastitis is caused, it will make it difficult for breastfeeding to go on smoothly. Mommy presses her breast with her fingers while feeding, so that the baby can suck without blocking his little nose.
(E) Scientific and rational intake of rich nutrition
In order to have strong milk secretion and excellent nutrients, mommy's needs for heat and nutrients are also relatively increased, so she should eat more meals every day, with 4 ~ 5 meals being more suitable; Pay special attention to drink more soups that can promote lactation, such as stewed pork ribs soup, stewed chicken soup, stewed pig's trotters, tofu soup, vegetable soup, etc. It is best to drink water or other drinks between meals. If there is little or no milk, don't give up easily. Ask your doctor to recommend some special prolactin meals or medicated diets. However, the more you eat, the better, because you spend more time in bed and reduce your activities during confinement, but you mainly eat high-calorie or fat food. If you take too much, you will not increase the amount of milk, but will reduce the milk because of gastrointestinal discomfort.
3. The method of returning milk during lactation
1, gradual method
To get milk back as soon as possible, mothers can slowly try the gradual method. The so-called gradual progress includes that mothers should gradually reduce the frequency of breast feeding, gradually extend the interval of breast feeding, and gradually shorten the time of single breast feeding. Starting from these three aspects, the breasts and babies are gradually adapted, which is of great help to natural breast feeding.
2. Food Law
We can eat some foods that help to restore milk, such as leeks, hawthorn and malt. There is also slowly reducing the water content in food in the diet, because the main component of breast milk is water. In addition, in order to get milk back, mothers should reduce the intake of high-protein food, and eating more light, less soup and less water can help to get milk back.
3. Underwear Law
After delivery, many mothers will choose to wear tight clothes to help restore their figure. It should be noted that although mothers wear tight clothes to help reduce milk secretion, wearing tight clothes can stimulate nipples, which will increase milk secretion. It is best to choose underwear that has a tight effect and can effectively support breasts.
4. Ice compress method
When using the ice compress method, we must pay attention to the fact that the temperature of ice cubes should not be too low, and it is not appropriate to directly use ice cubes for ice compress. When the temperature is too low, it is best to wrap the ice cubes with a towel for ice compress. Of course, it is not necessary to use ice cubes, as long as the temperature is slightly lower, it can be used for ice compress to alleviate the discomfort of the breast when raising milk.
5. Drug Law
For mothers who have failed to adopt the gradual method and the food method, they can find a doctor to make a milk return plan, and the indispensable thing is to use drugs. No matter taking medicine or giving an injection to return milk, it should not be the first choice to return milk. After all, medicine is toxic in three ways, and its impact on the body still exists.
6. Find a prolactin
In addition to helping lactation, prolactinists can also ask mothers who want to return their milk for massage. Although I can massage my breasts myself, the professional massage of a professional prolactin can effectively achieve the corresponding effect.
