The correct way to breastfeed with a flat chest

The correct way to breastfeed a flat-chested baby is to first ensure that there is sufficient milk in the breasts, adopt a suitable breastfeeding posture, and change the habit of using a pacifier.

1. There is sufficient milk in the breast: Flat chest may lead to insufficient milk secretion. You can wait until after delivery to use massage methods to make the mammary glands unblocked, or open the mammary glands with lactation juice, and then do lactation massage to promote milk secretion. You can also drink more fish soup or pig trotter soup, most of which have the effect of promoting lactation.

2. Appropriate breastfeeding posture: Most women can breastfeed according to their own situation. If they have undergone cesarean section, they can adopt a sitting or side-lying position, which can allow the baby to face the nipple and open his mouth wide to hold the areola and suck.

3. Change the habit of using pacifier: If the woman gives birth naturally, she may let the baby suck on the nipple after giving birth, which can stimulate the breasts to secrete breast milk. If a woman has undergone a cesarean section, breastfeeding may cause pain in the wound area, and most of them will have a certain degree of rejection. It is necessary to avoid the baby using a pacifier or a spoon to feed, and when the baby is in a good mood or not too hungry, let the baby suck the nipple to achieve the effect of milk production.

During breastfeeding, you also need to pay attention to keeping your diet light and easily digestible, and avoid eating greasy and spicy foods.
