In order to have more milk in the month, the diet can follow the following three principles: 1. The diet must be comprehensive in nutrition, vegetarian and thick.
Many new mothers don't dare to eat anything after confinement. Their staple food is millet every day, and they don't eat vegetables and fruits. They think that eating vegetables and fruits will hurt the stomach of new mothers, which will lead to a decrease in milk, which is not conducive to adverse reactions such as lochia elimination.
In fact, this is wrong. Fruits and vegetables are rich in trace elements, which is not only conducive to the physical recovery of new mothers, but also conducive to the amount of milk secretion.
Therefore, when a new mother is in confinement, she can not only eat more kinds of vegetables and fruits, but also pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables. During pregnancy, she can eat beef, sheep, pigs, fish, chickens, ducks and pigeons, and coarse grains can eat brown rice, black rice, Redmi, peanuts and beans. In short, the food should be diversified.
2. Drink more soup food, which is good for breastfeeding.
New mothers have poor appetite after delivery, and their skin excretion function has become very strong, which makes them particularly prone to sweating. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement a lot of water in the second month, and at the same time, drink more soup foods for milk secretion, such as juice, milk, millet porridge, chicken soup, crucian carp soup, pig's foot soup and sparerib soup, which all have the function of milk secretion.
3. The food should be soft and delicious and easy to digest.
The new mother is very weak, and her gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered, so she can't eat hard food. On the one hand, it will lead to the loosening of her teeth, on the other hand, it is not conducive to digestion and absorption. The new mother's diet is not fully digested, which will definitely affect the milk secretion. Therefore, the new mother's meals are cooked soft and rotten, and she doesn't eat fried and hard food. For example, before steaming rice, she can soak the rice for a while in advance to steam soft and delicious rice.
Recommend two kinds of soups: 1. Clear soup for crucian carp.
Raw materials: crucian carp, scallion, ginger slices, salt and vegetable oil.
Practice:
1. Clean crucian carp for later use;
2. Heat the pan and cool the oil. After the oil is hot, fry the crucian carp in the pan until both sides are golden, add water, add ginger slices, and keep the fire until it boils. When the crucian carp soup turns milky white, turn to low heat and cook for 20 minutes;
3. Add salt to taste and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
Carassius auratus is rich in protein, which is easy to be digested and absorbed by human body, which can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and has the effect of promoting lactation.
2. Stewed tofu with loofah
Ingredients: tofu, loofah, chicken soup, salt, chopped green onion and sesame oil.
Practice:
1. Cut tofu and loofah, peel, wash and cut into pieces for later use;
2. Blanch the tofu with boiling water, remove and drain;
3. Cool the oil in a hot pan. When the oil is hot, stir-fry the loofah until it is soft. Add chicken soup, boil it, add tofu, salt, and simmer for 10 minute.
4. Sprinkle chopped green onion with sesame oil before cooking.
Luffa helps lactating mothers secrete milk, and it can also prevent postpartum milk deposition.

Milk is the baby's first diet when he comes to the world. Whether the mother's milk is full or not is directly related to the baby's health. However, due to the disorder of postpartum diet, mood, work or sleep, liver qi stagnation and qi and blood weakness, many moms will have breast deficiency.
Here I recommend three kinds of prolactin soups that we often eat in our hometown:
First, papaya crucian carp soup
Carassius auratus soup is rich in protein, which not only has the function of promoting lactation and lactation, but also has a good tonic effect on the recovery of the mother's body. Papaya Carassius auratus soup Papaya's unique papain is very beneficial to breast development, and the two ingredients are very effective in promoting lactation.
Second, pig's trotters and grass soup
Put pig's trotters and medulla tetrapanacis in a casserole and stew the soup. First, boil the soup with medium fire, and then stew it with slow fire until the meat is rotten.
Third, pig's trotters and lily soup
This soup has the effects of nourishing blood, promoting spermatogenesis, strengthening and benefiting bones, and promoting lactation in lactagogue, which has a good effect on promoting lactation of lying-in women.
The puerpera's vitality has not recovered after giving birth, so some foods should be paid attention to and should not be eaten:
First, avoid eating cold and cold food.
Second, avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers, strong tea, coffee alcohol, etc.
Third, do not eat sour and astringent foods, such as ebony, lotus seeds, persimmons and pumpkins.
Fourth, do not eat hard and indigestible food.
Five, avoid eating salty food.
If you want to give milk well during the confinement period, the principle of "four more" will promote lactation most. Let the baby suck more, the parturient take more liquids, eat more foods rich in protein, and take more rest to keep happy.
After delivery, the secretion of breast milk is not waiting, but through the baby's permission to suck. Frequent permission to suck by the newborn can trigger "milk ejection reflex", thus increasing lactation, preferably not less than 8 times a day, which can stimulate the mother's nipple enough to promote milk secretion.
The food that promotes milk secretion the strongest is usually water, not the so-called tonic diet. It is most helpful for parturient to eat more liquid foods, such as porridge, soup and drinks. The recommended amount of water is more than 2,500 ml per day, and milk is 500 grams per day. Milk should be skimmed or low-fat to avoid excessive weight gain. Soups can be light, such as egg soup, vegetable soup and crucian carp soup, to avoid excessive fat. Promoting lactation does not mean eating and drinking, and weight control is very important, otherwise the road to weight loss in the later period will be extremely difficult.
Regarding protein, it is not only the guarantee of nutrition for breast milk, but also conducive to lactation. The first choice is high-protein foods such as eggs, milk, fish and shrimp, lean meat and soybeans. Finally, the mood is relaxed, the sleep is sufficient, the spirit is good and the body is good, and lactation is naturally good.

The start and maintenance of breastfeeding are regulated by complex neuroendocrine mechanisms, and a single food can't achieve the function of milking. If you want to be a "cow" mother, you must start from three aspects:
Where does your milk come from? -the role of endocrine
In a woman's life, breasts can only play the role of lactation during pregnancy and postpartum, and the decisive factor is the change of hormone level in your body. After delivery, estrone and progesterone gradually subsided, and prolactin continued to rise, so that milk began to secrete.
Milk secretion is controlled by two reflexes:
One is milk production reflex, which determines the amount of milk. Babies sucking nipples stimulate the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, which causes mammary glands to secrete milk and store it in the mammary duct; If the baby does not suck the nipple, the lactation effect will not be maintained after 3 4 days.
The second is the lower milk reflex. Babies sucking nipples will also stimulate the pituitary gland to produce oxytocin, which will contract the muscles around the acinus and promote the discharge of milk. Lower milk reflex is easily affected by fatigue, tension, pain caused by chapped nipple and other emotions. During breast-feeding, the number of breast-feeding is guaranteed to be more than 8 times a day, so that the serum prolactin level can be maintained at a high level in the next feeding. If you want to increase the amount of breast milk secretion, you should first increase the number of breast-feeding and shorten the interval between breast-feeding
The lactation capacity of most lactating mothers is much larger than the milk required by a baby!
What affects the quality of milk? -nutritional status
What affects the secretion of milk? -emotional state
Therefore, understanding the mechanism of lactation and mastering the correct feeding methods are the most useful secrets of lactation!
According to the tradition in China, confinement must mean eating and drinking. The obvious reason is that the body needs recovery and the baby needs nutrition. In fact, this kind of eating and drinking, the diet is not balanced, the mother's weight has soared, but the amount of milk is not necessarily much. How can we make more milk?
In the early postpartum period, there is a certain relationship between hormone levels and milk secretion, but the amount of milk secretion after a few days is mainly related to the degree of milk emptying. So you should first:
Pay attention to feeding problems
Start feeding as soon as possible.
Feeding on demand: feed your baby whenever it is needed, and don't deliberately plan the time.
Frequent feeding: The more times you feed, the more milk you produce, at least 8 times in 24 hours.
Apply a warm towel or massage your breasts before feeding.
With the help of a breast pump:
After each feeding, you need to use a breast pump to suck out the remaining milk, usually for 5- 10 minutes.
If the baby is not around, attract at least 8 times in 24 hours.
Try not to use pacifiers and bottles, so that your baby will be reluctant to suck your nipples. Try to use small bowls and spoons for artificial feeding.
Then there is:
Pay attention to diet.
Eat at least 1800 calories and drink at least 2000ml of water every day.
Eat foods rich in calcium: this will help your baby's bones to be healthy and strong. Including dairy products, green leafy vegetables and fish (salmon and sardines).
Eat more vegetables and fruits: rich in vitamins, minerals and cellulose.
Intake of complex carbohydrates: brown rice, whole wheat and beans.
High-quality protein: lean meat (chicken breast, fish, etc.), low-fat dairy products, bean products such as tofu.
Eat more:
Carrots, salmon, fennel, garlic, basil leaves, black sesame seeds, fennel seeds, oats, almonds, apricots, milk, chickpeas ...
Eat less:
Raw onion, raw mango, cabbage, cauliflower, pineapple, berries, oranges, stimulating food, wine, tea, coffee ...
Use traditional Chinese medicines when necessary: fenugreek, Cirsium japonicum, raspberry, etc.
Western medicine: metoclopramide, domperidone, etc.
Note: No matter what medicine it is, please ask a professional doctor to prescribe it.
Keep a good mood and avoid mood swings. You can listen to light music when nursing.
Read more pictures and books that make you happy.
Do more things that make you happy.
You need to know that in most cases, breast-feeding will naturally lead to adequate milk secretion, but in some cases, it will indeed lead to a decrease in milk volume:
Hypothyroidism;
Get sick or take contraceptives containing estrogen;
Hormone disorder or breast surgery;
Postpartum hemorrhage;
Emotional fluctuation, stress and lack of sleep.
……
To sum up, it is very important to have more milk, correct feeding, a balanced diet and a happy mood.
If you want to be full of milk and breastfeed your child exclusively, you should pay attention to other aspects besides eating in the month.
First, open the milk as soon as possible and let the baby suck more.
Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean delivery, let the baby suck the mother's nipple as soon as possible to stimulate lactation. Even if there is no milk secretion at first, we must insist on letting the baby suck more. My baby was delivered by caesarean section. I didn't have any milk at first, but fortunately, the little guy was patient and didn't suck it seriously. After one day, there will be milk.
Second, the newborn baby feeds water and milk with a spoon.
The baby is out, but the mother has no milk, so feed the baby with a spoon and try not to use a bottle. The baby just eats a small amount and slowly increases. I'm afraid some babies won't allow their mothers to suck their milk after using the bottle, because the method of allowing nipples to suck is different from that of mothers' nipples. The nurse in the hospital said that sucking three or four mouthfuls of mother's milk is equivalent to sucking one mouthful of bottle. The child is also very smart, and he will choose the easy one to eat.
Third, you can promote milk secretion through lactation and lactation.
When the mother's milk is less or the breast is blocked, she can go to the hospital or the maternal and child store to find a breast nurse to breastfeed and breastfeed. The breast nurse can drain the mother's milk through professional methods to promote milk secretion. My little Bao was mixed-fed in the first month. After the month, he went to the hospital for several times and then switched to exclusive breastfeeding.
Fourth, feed children as needed
In the first two or three months, the mother should feed the child as needed, and you have to feed the child if he wants to eat. The more your baby allows you to suck, the more milk you will get. My little treasure ate every other hour for the first two months, and it was the same at night. It was so tiring! It will be fine after these two months, and he will only eat once every two to three hours later.
5. Mom should drink more soup.
Usually, the mother's diet is very good in the second month, but it is necessary to achieve a balanced nutrition and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink soup every meal as long as you are breast-fed, so the milk has high nutritional value. Don't be too greasy in the soup, or it will easily block the mammary duct, which is very painful. Generally, sweet wine and egg soup, crucian carp and papaya soup, pork knuckle and peanut soup, grass fish head and bean curd soup, and pork bone and lotus root soup are all very milky.
Have a good rest and be in a good mood
Mothers should not only pay attention to the maintenance in the month. As long as the mother has breast-feeding, she should try to rest well and keep her spirits up, whether in or out of the month. Only when the mother has a good rest and a good mood will the milk be enough. The most taboo is getting angry and crying during breastfeeding.
I work as a nutritionist, but I am an ordinary mother in life. I have also experienced the process of insufficient milk and chasing milk during the second month, and I have achieved exclusive breastfeeding through dietary intervention. So I will share my theoretical knowledge and my experience in life with you, hoping to help you!
First of all, determining the amount of milk includes the following aspects: diet, sleep, mood and baby's stimulation. The four * * * work together.
Therefore, the mother must remember that whether there is milk or not, more or less, the baby must be allowed to suck more nipples, so that milk secretion can be promoted through nerve reflection. Secondly, the parturient must keep enough sleep and have a good rest. My experience is that poor sleep directly affects the milk yield. When I take care of my children at night, there is less milk. My mother helps me take care of my children, and there is a lot of milk the next day, but the number of times I feed my children at night is the same. Third, maintaining a good mood is conducive to lactation, and you can't have a hard time with yourself during the month.
In terms of diet, the secret is protein and water. Eat more protein food and drink more water. The combination of the two is a variety of low-fat and high-protein soup water, such as crucian bean curd soup, soybean pig's foot soup, chicken mushroom soup, tomato beef soup, melon mutton soup and carrot sparerib soup. ......
Finally, you can also use some traditional Chinese medicines such as medulla tetrapanacis and Tongru granules, but the effect varies from person to person. I wish my mother good health and my baby strong!
I just finished confinement for three months, and I understand the pain of not having milk! However, I finally found a way to give milk. My son is four and a half months old and has enough milk to eat.
When I was confined, I ate all the traditional weaning food, such as pig's trotters, crucian carp, old hen and medulla tetrapanacis, all of which were useless! I was so anxious that I cried!
Later, Bao Ma introduced the method of personal practice, which worked!
1. Stewed ribs with day lily. Eat meat, eat day lily, put more water, you can make sparerib soup, and drink soup. You can eat everything you can anyway.
2. Stir-fry black beans in a griddle. Simmer the black beans in a pan until the skin of the black beans cracks. Soak this black bean in water for tea. Can be paired with red dates, medlar, are qi, good for maternity.
I've been drinking black bean water for half a month. I've eaten stewed spareribs with day lily for four or five times, but I stopped eating after I was full of milk, and there was no milk back.
I hope my answer is useful to mothers with insufficient milk! Ask in the comments you don't understand, and I will answer.
It is best for newborn babies to breastfeed. Breast milk is the best food for babies, and it is stronger than any other food. If you lack milk, it is not enough for your baby to eat, then you can also take food to promote lactation.
Many older people saw their daughter-in-law or daughter giving birth to a baby, and began to give them food from lactagogue on the day of delivery. The milk was fat, but the breasts were swollen. Experts say that puerpera's postpartum milk production is less, and it usually starts to increase in 3-4 days after delivery. At this time, lactagogue is the most suitable. In lactagogue, breast blockage is easy to cause inflammation and agglomeration of the mammary duct. At that time, even if the milk is massaged, it can no longer be given to the baby.
Therefore, it is not advisable to eat lactagogue's food immediately after delivery.
If the mother's milk is insufficient, she can eat some mild Chinese herbal medicines. For example, Huang Hualang.
Huanghualang is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine with dual functions of medicine and food, which is widely used. According to clinical reports, Huanghualang is a good medicine for treating postpartum hypogalactia blindly. Some studies have used Huanghualang in 40 cases of parturient with lactation deficiency. As a result, after taking three doses in succession, 38 cases had smooth mammary ducts and full milk. In 2 cases, when taking 5 doses, the mammary duct was unblocked and the milk increased. It can be used as daily tea, and mothers who like fried Huanghualang tea don't have to worry about getting angry. The fried Huanghualang tastes better and more fragrant, and it also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.
It is worth noting here that it should be used less or not for mothers with yang deficiency, cold outside and weak spleen and stomach.
