How to remedy the situation when the baby cries and the milk is not coming back

Breastfeeding is a critical stage, and mothers' mental fluctuations, such as getting angry, crying, etc., are very likely to affect the amount of breast milk. However, after giving birth, women feel depressed and it is inevitable that there will be some small fluctuations in their mood, which may lead to the phenomenon of milk withdrawal. So, how can mothers save their babies if their milk stops flowing due to crying during breastfeeding?

How to save the baby from crying during breastfeeding

1. Improve baby's sucking. Experiments have confirmed that after the baby drinks milk, the prolactin in the mother's blood will double. This is because the baby sucking the nipple can promote the mother's hypothalamus-pituitary gland to secrete lactation hormone, thereby increasing the secretion of milk.

2. Maintain a good attitude of the breastfeeding mother. After giving birth, the mother's mood fluctuates greatly due to physiological and environmental factors, and she often feels depressed, which will hinder milk secretion. Medical research shows that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will be significantly reduced. Therefore, it is your responsibility to create a good living environment for your wife and always care about her mental health.

3. Supplement nutrients. All kinds of nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal secretion of milk. You must take your job as a chef well and choose nutritious foods for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc.

How to stop crying during breastfeeding

1. Mothers should gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding from 3 times a day to 2 times or 1 time. Unnecessary milk should not be accumulated in the breasts, but should be squeezed until the breasts are soft and there is no feeling of swelling or pain.

2. In terms of diet, the mother's diet should be light and not greasy. She should drink less water and porridge, especially milk-producing foods such as old hen soup and fish head soup. She can eat more leeks and hawthorns in moderation.

3. After weaning, you should wear a close-fitting or slightly tight bra. This can not only inhibit the secretion of milk, but also relieve breast swelling and pain.

4. If breast lumps, partial skin redness, fever, and other symptoms appear in the late weaning period, seek medical attention immediately.

5. After successful weaning, mothers are advised to exercise appropriately and do more chest expansion exercises to help the breasts recover their elasticity quickly.

The loss of milk during breastfeeding due to crying can be saved, and mothers don't need to feel guilty about it. As long as you pay attention to the way your baby is breastfed, restore and maintain a good breastfeeding mentality, eat more nutritional supplements that are beneficial to lactation, and believe that even if there are some small fluctuations in your mentality, it will not cause too much impact on the baby who is still breastfeeding.
