3. How to increase milk supply after giving birth

Method 1 to increase milk production - Let the baby suck the nipple more. Studies have confirmed that within 1 week to 2 months after delivery, lactation mainly relies on the sucking stimulation of the baby to promote the increase of pituitary prolactin secretion and reduce the secretion of pituitary prolactin inhibitory factor. Therefore, even though you may feel physically and mentally exhausted and your breasts may not feel swollen after delivery, it is best to insist on feeding your baby within 30 minutes after delivery, allowing the baby to suckle the breasts as soon as possible to stimulate the breasts to secrete milk as soon as possible. It is best to sleep in the same room with the baby so that the mother can let the baby suck the breast frequently. Repeated and irregular sucking can stimulate the mother's brain to secrete and release prolactin. In addition, as soon as the baby cries, pick him up and feed him to promote the secretion of prolactin in the mother's body and increase the amount of milk secretion.

Method 2 for increasing milk secretion: Pay attention to a happy mood after childbirth. Mental factors have a certain impact on postpartum lactation. Therefore, after giving birth, you should pay attention to maintaining a good mood, forget about your worries for a while, put housework behind you, and fully rest your body. Don't worry too much about whether your baby is eating enough or developing normally. Mental excitement and happiness will increase the level of prolactin in the body, thereby increasing milk production as quickly as possible.
