There are many tips and tricks, and each one is important
01 Ensure your own nutrition
You have to make sure you are eating and drinking enough. You can try some of the foods that folk claim to produce milk, such as pig's trotters stewed with peanuts, fish soup, chicken soup and so on.
02 Ensure your own nutritionYou should also keep your baby close to yourself, give him plenty of skin-to-skin contact, and take care of yourself as much as possible; family members can help with other things.
03 The most important thing is to get your baby to suckle more oftenat least ten times a day, or more if your baby needs it;
you can feed every two hours;
breastfeed whenever any of your babies seems to be interested;
prolong your baby's suckling time on each side of the ***;
keep your baby with you at night and breastfeed;
sometimes when the baby is not ready, you should keep your baby close to you and breastfeed him;
you should also keep your baby close to you. p>
Sometimes babies are more willing to suckle when they are asleep.
04 Make sure your baby is *** well containedBefore breastfeeding, you can gently pull or *** the head to *** milk production;
Feed your baby with a cup, spoon or empty syringe before the milk comes in, and then cut down on the other feeds as the milk gradually comes in;
Never use a soother;
If your baby refuses to ***, you can use a dropper or an empty syringe to help him or her suck. A dropper or empty syringe can be used to give milk while the baby is sucking to encourage sucking.
05 Getting the baby to take it again ***You can put a single feeding's worth of breastmilk into a small cup. Then suck the milk out of the cup using an empty syringe or cup. Slowly pump the milk into your baby's mouth from the corner of your mouth as he or she sucks. Refill the empty syringe with milk and continue until the baby is full.
Alternatively, use a spoon or a small cup to drip the expressed breastmilk from the *** and ***, holding the baby close to the *** so that he can lick the drips. Slowly put the *** into his mouth and help him to latch on to the ***.
You may need to continue for three or four days before he can suck strongly. You should try to make feedings last thirty minutes (about fifteen minutes on each side ***).
06 Make sure your baby is full, with a gradual transitionAt first, give your baby a continuation of the amount of formula he was previously taking. As soon as some breastmilk is produced, you can reduce the amount of formula by 30 to 60 milliliters a day.
