What to do if you don't have much milk and your milk is overflowing

If a mother regurgitates milk during breastfeeding, it is generally caused by too much milk. However, milk regurgitation can also occur even if there is too little milk. This is caused by neurological abnormalities caused by insufficient qi and blood or lack of sleep. It is recommended that mothers should pay more attention to rest and not overwork, which is not conducive to their body's recovery. It is recommended that mothers read the contents of the article regarding the causes and treatments of milk regurgitation despite insufficient milk supply.

Why is there milk overflow even though there is not enough milk?

(1) May be related to insufficient Qi and blood

Milk overflow is a normal phenomenon during breastfeeding, especially for mothers with plenty of milk. Milk overflow may occur even when they are not breastfeeding. As for the reason why milk overflows even though there is not much milk, it may be because the mother is very weak after giving birth, and the lack of qi and blood caused by childbirth, so there is no qi to hold the milk, which eventually leads to milk overflow.

(2) May be related to lack of sleep

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, breast milk is actually produced from the mother's blood. If the mother has poor sleep quality or lacks sleep after giving birth, it will affect the blood circulation in the body, which in turn will greatly affect the secretion of breast milk.

(3) It may be related to the baby’s sucking method

If the baby's sucking method is incorrect during feeding, it will affect the mother's lactation to a certain extent. Therefore, the mother's feeding method, the baby's sucking method, etc. may affect the mother's final lactation.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why milk regurgitates even though there is not much milk. Many mothers mistakenly believe that only mothers with a lot of milk will regurgitate, but in fact, it is very common to regurgitate even though there is not much milk. I hope mothers can pay attention to this. Especially when you have such abnormal problems, it is recommended to consult a professional obstetrician and gynecologist so that you can discover the abnormalities in time and correct them in time to avoid affecting the baby's breast milk and causing harm to the baby's healthy growth.
