How to boost milk supply at 5 months

If the breast milk becomes less or there is no milk, many parents will feel worried, but the more worried they are, the less breast milk there will be, especially at five months. Some parents start to add complementary foods to their babies and no longer breastfeed normally, which can easily cause problems. So how to increase milk supply if the baby is five months old? Taking lactation-inducing foods, letting your baby suck on your nipples, and massaging your breasts are all good ways!

1. Taking lactation-inducing foods: Diet therapy is one of the most effective ways to increase milk production. Mothers who have stopped breastfeeding can eat more milk-promoting foods or nourishing soups. Honey fruit pork trotter soup, pig's trotter cooked with red dates, pig's trotter lettuce soup, mullet loofah soup, milk crucian carp and tofu soup, peanut millet porridge, black sesame porridge and other nourishing soups are all very good milk-inducing recipes.

2. Let the baby suck the nipple: Using the appropriate sucking posture and letting the baby suck more often is also a very good way to increase milk production. Because reasonable and appropriate sucking is the most effective stimulation for milk secretion, the more frequent the sucking, the more beneficial it is to the secretion of milk. Proper method of operation is the key to ensure successful milk chasing. But in addition to external factors, mothers also need to pay attention to the adjustment of their mentality, because the quality of their mentality will directly affect the effect of milk chasing. During the process of milk production, mothers are advised to maintain a stable mental state and a positive and happy mood, which can better promote the secretion of breast milk.

3. Massage your chest. There are many massage techniques, and the general principle is to continuously stimulate the breasts to keep the mammary glands in an active state. In addition, the baby's sucking is actually the best massage method. The more times the baby sucks, the greater the stimulation to the nipple, and the more milk will be secreted.

4. Relax and rest: The mother's mentality will affect the metabolism of milk. Without good sleep and a clear mind, it is impossible to sustain the burden of breastfeeding. Therefore, eating well every day is good, but the most important point is that the family must support and control the mother, and create a warm and loving environment for the mother and child, which will be more conducive to breastfeeding.
