(1) Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments show that the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially after the baby sucks the nipple, which can promote the secretion of prolactin by the mother's pituitary gland, thus increasing milk secretion.
(2) Avoid taking drugs. Be sure to remind your wife not to take medicine indiscriminately during lactation. Some drugs and foods will affect the secretion of milk, such as antithyroid drugs and hawthorn. When your wife is ill, you'd better take the medicine under the doctor's orders.
(3) supplement nutrition. All kinds of nutrients in milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is malnourished for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. You must stand in the position of a chef and choose foods with high nutritional value for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables and fruits. At the same time, preparing more soup can play a catalytic role in the wife's milk secretion.
(4) Keep the wet nurse in a good mood. After delivery, under the influence of physiological factors and environmental factors, the mother's mood fluctuates greatly, and she often appears depressed, which will restrict breast milk secretion. Medical experiments show that when a wet nurse is depressed, her breast milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, you have the obligation to create a good living environment for your wife and pay attention to her mental health at any time.
(5) dietotherapy. On the basis of the above measures, combined with prolactin food, the effect will be more obvious Such as pig's trotters, peanuts and other foods, have a good role in promoting milk secretion.
A balanced diet is an important rule for nursing mothers.
Breastfeeding mothers should also pay great attention to hydration. Because mothers often feel thirsty, they can replenish water when feeding, or drink more soup drinks such as fresh fish soup, chicken soup, fresh milk and boiled water. Only a proper amount of water can make the milk supply adequate and nutritious.
It is difficult for mothers who are eager to lose weight to get back in shape to ensure the supply of milk. It is recommended that lactating mothers wait until the end of lactation to control their diet and lose weight. In fact, breastfeeding has consumed a lot of calories. As long as mothers eat more and do some postpartum exercise, fat accumulation can be avoided.

C, shiatsu massage
Put your hands on both sides of the breast and squeeze from the breast to the nipple.
3, the method of increasing milk secretion nipple correction method
In fact, all kinds of problems related to mother's lack of milk can be improved. The nipple correction method can be used: put the index finger and thumb of the left or right hand on both sides of the areola, press down first, and then push away; Or massage the nipple symmetrically from left to right, up and down, which will make the nipple more prominent. In addition, you can also pay attention to the maintenance of breasts and nipples before delivery. When taking a bath, you can wash your breasts with clear water, but don't wash your nipples too hard to avoid premature contraction of the uterus.
Feed the baby frequently, so that the baby can suck the mother's nipple more.
In fact, the less milk the mother has, the more times the baby sucks; Because the baby sucks harder, it is just right to massage the areola with the help of the baby's mouth. The relationship between babies and breast milk begins after birth. When the baby is held on its mother's chest, it will naturally start looking for nipples. It is suggested that novice mothers should not stop their children from sucking nipples just because there is no milk at first, but let them touch nipples more, and slowly the baby will learn to suck by himself. Because the baby's sucking is to do its best, it will.
Mothers should feed their babies 1 time every 2 ~ 3 hours, but still feed them as needed. As long as the babies are hungry, the more they feed, the more milk they secrete. As for whether the baby eats enough milk, you can check the baby's diapers. As long as you change at least 6 ~ 7 diapers every day, it means that your baby has sucked enough milk.
Try not to supplement with formula milk powder.
If the mother has no special circumstances, such as mumps, fever, nipple rupture, etc. She should try to let the baby breastfeed. Eating infant formula will make the baby feel hungry, thus reducing the chance of breastfeeding. In this way, mother's milk will naturally decrease.
Replenish water, eat a balanced diet, and don't rush to lose weight.
Breast-feeding people should pay attention to the intake of nutrients. Basically, they should have a balanced diet. When breastfeeding, they will consume about 2 100 ~ 4200 joules of calories every day. The kind of food a mother eats will also directly affect the secretion and quality of milk. Therefore, it is very important to eat all kinds of foods in a balanced way, including five nutrients, such as sugar, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. Breastfeeding mothers should pay special attention to the absorption of calcium and iron, which can be taken from milk or soy products. Folk dietotherapy, such as trotters, fried chicken with sesame seeds, crucian carp soup, etc., is also milk food and can be eaten.
A balanced diet is an important rule for nursing mothers.
Breastfeeding mothers should also pay great attention to hydration. Because mothers often feel thirsty, they can replenish water when feeding, or drink more soup drinks such as fresh fish soup, chicken soup, fresh milk and boiled water. Only a proper amount of water can make the milk supply adequate and nutritious.

Avoid nipple injury
If the new mother's nipple is injured, chapped or bleeding, which leads to inflammation, she should temporarily stop sucking the injured side, let the baby suck the healthy side of the breast first, and then feed after the wound heals. In order to avoid nipple injury, it is suggested that mothers adopt the correct feeding posture and control the sucking time on one side, otherwise they will be easily injured repeatedly, thus affecting their confidence in feeding.
Enough rest
Some mothers will suffer from postpartum depression due to a large number of changes in postpartum hormones. If you add the fatigue and pressure of breastfeeding, the amount of milk will decrease. Therefore, lactating mothers should rest more and keep a happy mood in order to produce more milk.
Novice mothers should have confidence in breastfeeding and insist on it.
Many new mothers don't believe that their milk can feed their babies. In fact, no matter the shape and size of a woman's breast, it can produce enough milk, thus bringing rich nutrition to her baby.
However, it is really difficult for mothers to feed. Because breast milk is easy to digest and absorb, babies usually get hungry soon, so mothers feed it 1 time every 2 hours on average. Some babies have greater needs. Once the mother adds formula milk to the baby because she feels that the baby is not full, the baby will gradually get used to the formula milk with large flow and little effort, so she refuses to suck the nipple. This is the main reason why it is difficult for mother to breastfeed in the future and the milk is insufficient. Therefore, the support and understanding of family members, especially the support and understanding of husbands and elders, is particularly important for mothers.
