How to increase breast milk after delivery during pregnancy

Breastfeeding is very important for the baby's health. Some female friends have always had low milk secretion, and feeding the baby has become a problem. If the baby is fed with milk powder, it will often have a certain impact on the baby's physique and growth. Therefore, many women begin to prepare some methods to promote milk secretion during pregnancy to ensure abundant milk after delivery. So what methods can promote more milk after delivery?

How to promote milk secretion

First of all, you must start breastfeeding in time after delivery. Within 24 hours after delivery, if possible, you can clean your nipples with a hot towel. Then try to get your baby to suck. Don't worry, there may not be enough milk at first and your baby may be hungry. You can let your baby suck more and don’t rush to give him milk powder. If your baby is really hungry, you can give him some boiled water and then let him continue to suck. If the baby doesn't want to suck, you can add some brown sugar on your nipple, so that the baby will be more willing to suck. Sucking more can promote the patency of the mother's milk ducts, which is very helpful for the secretion of milk. You will find that the more the baby sucks, the more milk will be produced.

Here is a reminder that if the baby is unwilling to suck, then you should find a way to get the baby to suck more. Try not to use a breast pump too early, because using a breast pump will form a vicious cycle. Besides, it cannot really promote the secretion of milk in expectant mothers.

Under normal circumstances, the more frequently the baby sucks, the more naturally it will promote the secretion of milk. At this time, expectant mothers should not put too much psychological pressure on themselves. According to gynecological experts, if the psychological pressure on expectant mothers is too great, it will affect their sleep, and thus affect the secretion of milk. Insufficient milk secretion will cause greater psychological pressure on expectant mothers, which can easily lead to a vicious circle.

Therefore, if the mother's milk secretion is temporarily insufficient, then do not put too much psychological pressure on yourself, and also pay attention to getting more rest. If conditions permit, you can let your baby sleep with his father or other family members after he finishes feeding. This will allow expectant mothers to have more time to rest.

If you want to have enough milk, you have to be "hard" on yourself. Many expectant mothers worry that eating too much will deform their body after giving birth. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. For expectant mothers, they can increase protein appropriately and eat more foods that are good for promoting milk secretion. This will be more conducive to milk secretion. Eat more liquid foods, such as peanut soup, lean meat soup, grass carp soup, etc., which can help increase milk production.

Massage for lactation is actually very popular in some large and medium-sized cities. It should be said that if the technique is professional, it can be of great help in promoting the secretion of female milk. However, attention should be paid to whether it is professional when promoting lactation.

To promote the secretion of milk, you should also pay attention to bad eating habits. For example, a vegetarian diet without meat will not lead to sufficient milk secretion. Similarly, if you only eat meat, the secretion of milk will also be affected. It should be said that the normal eating method is to combine meat and vegetables, eat a balanced diet, eat small meals frequently, increase nutrition, pay more attention to exercise, and eat less food that affects milk and sweat secretion, such as leeks, malt, etc.
