What is an easy way to produce milk quickly?

Women will face two main problems after giving birth. The first problem is to regulate the body. There are many taboos during the confinement period. The second problem is breast milk. If the mother does not have enough milk, she needs to take lactation-inducing measures to ensure that there is enough milk for the baby. So what are some ways to help increase milk production? Next we will introduce some methods that can stimulate lactation.

Let your baby suck the nipple half an hour after birth

Zhang Silai, chief physician of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that many mothers have experience that through the baby's sucking, the secretion of breast milk will increase. Many hospitals now let babies suck their mother's nipples half an hour after birth. The baby's sucking can effectively stimulate the mother's hormone secretion, which in turn promotes the glands in the breast to secrete milk.

Breast massage within 24 hours and three days after delivery

It is best to do breast massage in the first few days of milk production to help stimulate milk production. Generally, the best effect is achieved by massaging once within 24 hours and once within 3 days after delivery. Before massage, the mother needs to apply hot compress to the breasts, especially the lumps, and keep the hot compress for a while, which can reduce the pain during massage.

Drink lactation soup three days after delivery

Drinking lactation-inducing soup too early will cause the milk to come out too quickly and in excess, and the newborn baby will not be able to finish it. Not only will it cause waste, but it will also cause the mother's milk ducts to be blocked and cause breast pain. Drinking lactation-inducing soup too late will cause the milk to come out too slowly and too little. The mother will become nervous due to the lack of milk, and the milk production will further decrease, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, it is generally recommended to give mothers lactation-promoting soup starting on the third day after delivery.

The above article introduces some methods that can promote lactation, mainly massage methods. Unblocking the mammary glands can ensure milk secretion and avoid the occurrence of mastitis. But in addition to this method, you can also choose dietary conditioning methods. Many kinds of food can promote lactation, such as red beans, crucian carp soup, pigeon soup, pig's trotter soup, leeks, etc., but there are also many foods that cannot be eaten, so you must be careful when eating to avoid causing milk regurgitation.
