Why is milk filling too slow?

During the lactation period, it is very important to ensure that enough milk is secreted, because the nutrients needed by the baby's body at this time mainly come from breast milk. However, the situation of each mother is different, and the speed of milk secretion is also different. Some new mothers produce very little milk. So, what’s the matter with slow milk production? Let’s take a look below.

What is the reason for slow milk filling?

1. Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because when the baby sucks the nipple, it stimulates the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

2. Avoid taking medicine. During the breastfeeding period, you must remind your wife not to take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect breast milk secretion. If your wife is sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

What to eat to increase milk production

1. Crucian carp and papaya

[Ingredients]: one crucian carp, half a papaya, ten red dates Seasoning: ginger slices, cooking wine, salt, MSG

【practice】:

1. Scrape off the carp's skin, remove its gills, gut and remove the internal organs (in fact, the fish seller has already done this). You just need to tear off the black membrane inside the belly and clean it.

2. Peel the papaya and cut it into pieces. Remove the pits from the red dates and rinse them.

3. Heat oil in a pan, add ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant, then add crucian carp and fry slightly to remove the fishy smell.

4. Heat oil in another pot, add water and bring to a boil, then add crucian carp, papaya, red dates, and cooking wine. After boiling, simmer over low heat for two hours, then add salt and MSG to taste.

2. Papaya Peanuts

② Peanuts are sweet and neutral in nature. They have the functions of promoting blood circulation and lactation, strengthening the spleen and appetite, moistening the lungs and promoting urination.
