How to increase prolactin during lactation

After a mother gives birth, she will enter the breastfeeding period because the baby needs a lot of nutrition to grow. However, since everyone's body is different, the breast milk secreted will also be different. If you want to increase prolactin during breastfeeding, you need to make a detailed food list for the mother and eat some foods that are conducive to the secretion of nutrients. And you must strengthen the baby's sucking to make the mother's pituitary gland secrete hormones. Here are some detailed methods.

(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 medication. You must not take any medicine during breastfeeding. Some medicines and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as antithyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If you are sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

(3) Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. Mothers should choose foods with high nutritional value, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of milk.

(4) Maintain the nurse’s good mood. After giving birth, mothers will experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which will restrict the secretion of breast milk. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, we need to have a good living environment and be mentally healthy.

(5)Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combining them with lactation-promoting foods, the effect will be more obvious. Foods such as pig's trotters and peanuts can promote the secretion of milk.

(6) The last one you can consider is using traditional Chinese medicine. 10 grams of Tongcao, 10 grams of Jingluotong, 10 grams of Wangbuliuxing, and 10 grams of Luffa. 3 to 4 doses, drink each dose per day, soak for more than ten minutes, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over low heat for two hours.
