How long does it take to return to milk after drinking hawthorn malt water?
Boiled malt water is a common folk method to help pregnant women to return to milk, especially taking boiled malt water has a good effect on some pregnant women to return to milk. Because there are many factors that affect the effect of malt water returning to milk, the specific number of days mainly depends on the maternal milk quantity and diet structure. If the breast milk is very abundant, the speed of returning milk will be slower, and if the milk juice is less, the effect of returning milk will be better. In order to ensure the effect of returning milk, it is recommended not to eat nutrients and meat that help raw milk, and to focus on a light diet.
After weaning, mother can take hawthorn malt to drink milk. Specific practices are as follows:
Ingredients: malt10g; Hawthorn 3g; Brown sugar 15g
Practice: First, stir-fry hawthorn slices and malt separately (you can also buy fried malt and dried hawthorn slices from Chinese medicine stores). Put the stir-fried hawthorn slices and stir-fried malt into a clean small pot, add 400ml of water, bring to a boil over medium heat, and turn to low heat to continue heating 15 minutes. After the boiled water is slightly cold, add brown sugar and serve.
Efficacy: The beverage has the function of returning milk, relieving breast swelling pain and milk deposition during returning milk, and can be drunk instead of water when weaning.
There are two main ways to return milk: natural milk return and artificial milk return. Generally speaking, if the lactation time reaches 10 months to 1 year and weaning is normal, the natural weaning method can often be adopted; However, due to various diseases or special reasons, those who wean when the breastfeeding time is less than 10 month often adopt artificial milk-returning methods, such as boiling water with raw malt, to achieve the effect of milk-returning. In addition, during normal weaning, if there is too much milk, the effect of natural milk return is not good, and the method of artificial milk return can also be used.
Natural feeding back refers to gradually reducing feeding times, lengthening feeding intervals and shortening single feeding time. In this way, the reduction of the baby's sucking stimulation will naturally reduce the amount of milk secretion. At the same time, we should pay attention to drink less soup and eat less milk, so that milk secretion will gradually decrease to nothing.
Artificial milk-returning is a method of reducing milk secretion by various milk-returning drugs. Estrogen drugs can be taken orally or intramuscularly, such as oral diethylstilbestrol, 5mg each time, 3 times a day for 3 ~ 5 days; Or intramuscular injection of estradiol benzoate, 2mg each time, twice a day for 3 ~ 5 days. Oral or external use of traditional Chinese medicine can also have good effects, such as frying malt 120g, decocting in water for three times and taking it warm; Or eat 1 bowl of soybean milk with a little sugar; Or suck out the milk first, put it in a gauze bag filled with 50 ~ 60g of mirabilite, and apply it externally to the breast. It needs to be replaced in time after deliquescence, 3 ~ 4 times a day.
In addition to typical milk-returning foods, such as barley tea, maltose, leek, pepper, aniseed (fennel), monosodium glutamate, ginseng, hawthorn, chocolate, bitter gourd and so on. It should be noted that some things are too cold and spicy, so don't be too taboo in your diet. After paying attention to which foods are returned to milk, experts reminded that the choice of diet when returning to milk should avoid those foods that promote milk secretion, such as peanuts, pig's trotters, crucian carp and soup. Otherwise, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Matters needing attention when returning milk
1. If the breast is swollen and uncomfortable, you can milk it, but don't milk it completely, otherwise it will promote milk secretion, which is counterproductive.
2. During lactation, attention should be paid to reducing the stimulation to breasts and nipples, the secretion of prolactin will decrease, and the amount of milk secretion will gradually decrease. Never let your baby suck milk again, and don't let your baby touch it. Avoid washing your breasts with hot water when taking a bath.
3, you can use an ice pack to compress the breast and reduce the bulge.
4. If a lump is found in the breast, it should be opened by hand in time to prevent mastitis.
5. When choosing the diet when returning milk, you should avoid peanuts, trotters, crucian carp, soup and other foods that promote milk secretion, and eat less foods rich in protein, which can reduce milk secretion. During lactation, we should also pay attention to reducing the intake of water in the diet.
6. Be patient during lactation, and the baby will cry and make trouble. Don't let the baby suck intermittently, and don't rub pepper or other irritating things on the nipple. If you milk because of swelling and pain, it will inevitably prolong the lactation time.
7. Try to avoid using hormone drugs or breast needles, which may easily cause breast atrophy or breast secretion problems.
