What should I do if there is not enough milk?
If the milk is still leaking due to insufficient milk, the mother can gently knead the nipple with her fingers when leaking milk to alleviate the milk spray reflex. If the above measures are ineffective, you can pick it up with a bottle and let the baby eat it at the right time (be careful not to use pacifiers as much as possible to prevent nipple confusion); If the massage fails, you need to feed. You can use a chest pad. In the process of milk leakage, this symptom should be treated correctly and solved correctly.
1, use anti-galactorrhea pad.
There are disposable chest pads on the market now. Mothers who leak milk can put anti-overflow pads in their bras and throw them away when they are wet, which is very convenient and will not be uncomfortable.
Step 2 put on a "chest protector"
You can buy a "chest protector" to wear. If there is milk leakage, the leaked milk can flow into the breast protector instead of elsewhere to avoid the embarrassment of clothes getting wet.
3, small square towel to wipe
Breastfeeding mothers can carry a few small square towels with them to wipe or prevent clothes from getting wet.
Step 4 breastfeed in time
Wear a bra at the right time, lift the breast, and pay attention to the nipple position not lower than the level. When you feel that your breasts are full, you should feed or suck them in time.
What if there is less milk?
1, suck more nipples
The earlier the baby sucks and stimulates, the more milk the mother secretes. Even if the breast milk has not been secreted, the baby will start to secrete milk after sucking the nipple several times. In addition, mothers should pay attention to feeding when the milk is rising and feeding when the baby is hungry. If you can't eat all the milk at once, you should squeeze it out and store it, so that your breasts are free, so that you can produce more milk. Otherwise, the breasts have been rising, and the milk can't hold back. Step 2 keep a good mood
Mental factors have certain influence on postpartum lactation. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to maintaining a good mood after delivery, temporarily forget their troubles, put housework behind their heads first, and fully regulate their bodies. Spiritual excitement and pleasure will promote the increase of prolactin level in the body, thus increasing milk as soon as possible. Mothers should not always worry too much about whether the baby is full or not, which will make the mood worse and naturally secrete less milk.
