First, what is the reason for the lack of milk during lactation? Did you get caught?

1, too few feeding times

Breast milk is the best food for newborns, which is not only convenient to feed but also nutritious. Breastfeeding is not limited by time or place, but is on demand. As long as the baby is hungry and wants to eat milk, it can be fed at any time.

Some mothers do not breastfeed for a long time or extend the interval of breastfeeding because of work needs or physical discomfort, which is not only not conducive to the secretion of milk, but also leads to insufficient milk.

2. Incorrect feeding method

The baby did not suck the breast early after birth, nor did he breastfeed as needed; The separation of mother and baby, using bottle to feed, caused the "nipple illusion", which led the baby to refuse to suck breast milk;

Novice mothers are unwilling to let newborns suck because of nipple pain, which can lead to insufficient milk.

3, improper diet during lactation

The diet of new mothers during lactation is very important, so it is necessary to distinguish clearly which foods are milk-opening and milk-dropping; What are the foods that are returned to milk? If you just eat it by taste, it's easy to eat the food back to milk without knowing it. In turn, the milk is reduced, which is not enough for the baby to eat.

Common milk-returning foods: barley tea, hawthorn, leek, bitter gourd and so on.

4. Depression and depression during lactation.

The mood of lactating expectant mothers is very important, and if they are in a good mood, milk will naturally be sufficient; Being in a bad mood, being angry, angry and depressed is not only bad for milk secretion, but also makes milk "toxic".

Therefore, during lactation, expectant mothers should learn to control their emotions and be sure to keep a good mood; Otherwise, it is easy to return milk, which affects the baby's rations.

5. Add complementary food prematurely

Not long after the baby was born, the mother hasn't opened the milk or the milk secretion is low. The baby has been crying and afraid of being hungry, so she feeds the baby with milk powder. Slowly, the baby doesn't like to eat breast milk, the number and time of sucking on the breast are reduced, and the milk secretion is further reduced.

It is normal for lactating mothers to have insufficient milk secretion for a while. Be sure to insist on letting the baby suck and let the baby eat, or you will mistakenly think that there is no breast milk. Adding milk powder to the baby will really be insufficient milk.
