What to do if your milk does not increase during breastfeeding

I believe everyone knows the importance of breast milk to babies. Breast milk is the best food for babies. If there is a problem with breast milk, it will easily affect the baby's physical health. Therefore, we recommend that female friends must pay great attention to their physical health during breastfeeding. Once symptoms of lack of milk production during breastfeeding appear, you must pay attention to it and find ways to stimulate lactation in time. Below we will introduce what to do if milk production does not occur during breastfeeding.

If your breasts are not swollen, it means that you have less milk now. If you have no milk, your breasts will not swell. Think about whether you have eaten anything to reduce milk production recently? For example, beef, pepper, leek, malt, etc., these foods have terrible effects on reducing milk production. I only ate a little bit of beef at that time, and my breasts did not swell for the whole day.

Don't be too nervous, don't be too tired, drink more soup and let your baby suck more.

If the baby drinks too much milk powder and is not hungry, he will not use force every time he sucks milk. If he does not use force, the second half of the milk will not be sucked out. If there is excess milk, the milk secretion will become less and less, and the milk passage will be blocked over time. If it cannot be unblocked, no matter how much food he eats, he will not produce milk. Therefore, every time you feed your baby, you must drink breast milk first, and then drink milk powder if it is not enough. If the baby does not suck more than three times a day, the speed of milk withdrawal is very scary.

If it doesn't work, take some Chinese medicine to promote lactation. If the breast engorgement condition has not been completely relieved, you can take Chinese medicine for dispersing the knot and promoting lactation (6 grams of Bupleurum, 12 grams of Angelica, 9 grams of Vaccaria, 9 grams of Lophatherum gracile, and 9 grams of Smilax glabra).
