How to tell if your breasts are empty

Women’s breasts are a symbol of their sexuality, a symbol of their hot and sexy body, and the part where they feed their babies with breast milk. We all know that pregnancy is equivalent to the secondary development of girls' breasts, and their breasts will increase a lot. After having a baby, you need to breastfeed. Timely emptying during feeding is beneficial to the health of the breasts. So how do you tell if your breasts are empty?

We have discussed the concept of breast emptying many times in our milk-boosting courses and milk-boosting cases. Some mothers are confused. What exactly is breast emptying? How do you know if your breasts are empty?

The correct answer is that breast emptying is only a relative concept, a concept of degree. What is meant by this is that when we increase breast emptying, we increase the degree of breast emptying. The less milk left in the breast after "emptying", the higher the degree of emptying. Because the breasts are dynamic during lactation, they adjust the speed of milk production according to the fullness of the breasts at any time. The breasts are never empty, and they produce milk as they drain, and the more they drain, the more they produce. The more empty your breasts are, the faster your milk will be produced. I also wrote an article, "Breast milk is produced while you are eating. Do you believe this?"

This sentence is also applicable when it comes to emptying the breasts. It can be changed to mean that breast milk is produced while being discharged.

So how does a mother determine whether she needs to empty her breasts additionally? Please take a look at this link. Should you empty your breasts after feeding? Are you doing it right? To sum up the essence of this article, when your milk supply cannot keep up with your baby's needs, you need to empty your breasts by hand expressing milk or using a breast pump in addition to your baby's sucking.

Let's go back to the origin of the answer. Since emptying is a relative concept, how do we grasp the degree of emptying? The principle is to increase the emptying degree. When emptying frequently, you should pay attention to the correct method of milking and emptying, the correct operation of milk pumping, so as not to damage the breasts and not to excessively affect your rest. During the day, you can empty it every two hours, and stop when you can no longer squeeze out milk or stimulate the milk flow and take a rest. At night, you can do it every three hours, or try to let your baby suck. It can increase the baby's effective sucking method without hand expression or breast pumping.

In other words, to increase milk production and empty the breasts, the first choice is for the baby to suck effectively, followed by hand expression or a breast pump. Hand expressing or breast pumping is definitely painless and not violent, and treats the breasts gently. Increasing milk production is a process. The breasts are not yet smart enough to do this. If you increase the emptying today, the milk production will increase tomorrow. This needs to be persisted for a period of time, sometimes two or three days, sometimes a week, sometimes half a month or even longer. Mothers need to be mentally prepared and be prepared to persist for a long time, just like a marathon race.
