How long does it take to produce milk after giving birth?

After giving birth, most women want their children to drink breast milk as soon as possible. Compared with formula, breast milk is very nutritious and can meet the baby's body needs. During delivery, whether you choose natural birth or caesarean section, you need to start breastfeeding as soon as possible so that the baby can drink colostrum. Normally, milk will come in three days after giving birth. If there is no milk, it is likely caused by blocked mammary glands, and the mammary glands should be unblocked in time.

How long does it take to produce milk during normal delivery?

1. It depends on individual circumstances. Generally, women who give birth normally, that is, women who give birth naturally, will secrete milk 1-3 days after giving birth, because the delivery process is conducive to the secretion of postpartum milk.

2. Mothers who give birth naturally should breastfeed their babies half an hour after birth, because the baby's sucking ability is the strongest half an hour after birth. At this time, the baby's strong sucking on the mother's nipple can effectively clear the mammary glands.

What should you pay attention to after giving birth?

1. During the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold. The indoor temperature is 25-26℃, and the humidity is 50%-60%. Pay special attention not to blow air directly into the air conditioner. In addition, avoid contact with cold water during the confinement period. In late autumn, add clothes in time and try to wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. If you catch a cold during the confinement period, it will affect the mother's physical recovery and make her prone to rheumatism and other postpartum diseases.

2. Keep your body clean to avoid bacterial infection and inflammation. Right after giving birth, women have a lot of secretions from their private parts. They should pay attention to washing the vulva with warm water every day to ensure that the vulva is clean and hygienic, and keep the vulva dry to avoid infection. If there is a wound, it should be carefully cared for to avoid cracking and inflammation.

3. You should keep a happy and relaxed mood and avoid extreme mood swings. Have regular bowel movements, don't sleep in, drink a glass of warm water in the morning to moisten the intestines; drink plenty of water to maintain fluid balance; consume enough vegetables, fruits and other fiber-rich foods; it is not necessary to eat big fish and meat every day during confinement, a balanced diet is the most important.

How long does it usually take to produce milk after a normal birth? This may vary depending on the mother's own situation. However, natural childbirth is more conducive to the secretion of postpartum milk and is also of great benefit to the postpartum recovery of the mother. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women should do proper exercise during pregnancy, arrange their daily diet reasonably, have regular check-ups, and try to choose natural delivery, which is good for both the child and the mother.
