What to do if there is less milk after lactation

Many women feel that they don't have enough milk when breastfeeding their babies, and their babies always feel hungry. Therefore, some people think of using lactation to increase their milk supply. Lactation mainly promotes the secretion of milk from female breasts through special massage techniques and special drugs. However, some people find that their milk supply becomes less after lactation. What's going on?

1. Not getting enough rest. During breastfeeding, new mothers often need to get up at night, which disrupts their normal sleep schedule and easily leads to lack of sleep and fatigue. If they do not get enough rest, it will be detrimental to the lactation reflex and the quality of milk will also be affected.

2. Not persisting in breastfeeding. Even if the baby cannot drink much milk, mothers must insist on expressing milk on time every day and completely empty the milk in the breasts, so that the milk can circulate in a virtuous cycle and balance supply and demand.

3. Eating the wrong food. Pregnant mothers must pay attention to the nutrition in their diet during the confinement period. If the qi and blood are insufficient, it is impossible to secrete milk. In addition, if you eat the wrong things during breastfeeding, such as accidentally eating leeks, aniseed, pepper, tea, vinegar, bitter melon, grapefruit and other foods, it will cause milk to dry up.

1. The mother herself is malnourished. There is a situation where the mother's own nutrition is not kept up during breastfeeding, resulting in the body being unable to secrete more milk for the baby to consume.

2. The mother does not drink enough water. A large part of breast milk is water. When the mother does not drink enough water, it will have a certain impact on milk secretion.

3. The amount of baby's complementary food increases. Some mothers will prepare some complementary foods for their babies while breastfeeding to help them supplement the nutrients needed for growth. At this time, the baby will lose interest in breast milk because he has tried the new taste. As the baby eats more and more complementary foods, the mother's milk supply will naturally decrease.

Why does the milk supply decrease after the lactation consultant asked? This problem is faced by many nursing mothers at the same time, but many mothers do not know the reason. There are many reasons. It may be that the mother has insomnia, or the mother is anxious, which can also cause less milk. Usually, mothers should pay more attention to rest and avoid weaning while feeding their babies. Otherwise, weaning will occur.
