How often is breast milk secreted?

Many first-time mothers are very shy when breastfeeding their babies, and some mothers experience breast milk shrinkage due to excessive anxiety. If a woman does not have breast milk after giving birth, she will generally have breast milk as long as she relaxes. The metabolism of milk takes time, so how often is milk metabolized?

Milk is actually being metabolized all the time, it’s just a matter of how much. Some women with more milk will secrete a lot of milk in an hour or two. After secreting too much milk, their breasts will become swollen, and at this time they need to breastfeed their babies. There is actually no big limit on the time for breastfeeding. A baby who is exclusively breastfed can be fed breast milk when the baby cries or is hungry.

If the secretion of milk is relatively small, or if you cannot feel breast engorgement, you should feed your baby more milk. The baby's sucking can stimulate the secretion of breast milk. If the secretion of milk is too much and the baby cannot eat it, you can express the breast milk, put it in the refrigerator, and feed it to the baby next time, but you must pay attention to good hygiene to avoid bacterial infection.

If a woman finds that she has no breast milk after giving birth, she can take some lactation-inducing drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and she can also drink more nourishing soup. If it is really not good, you can find a professional lactation consultant to help you lactate. Pay attention to relaxing yourself. Many women do not have breast milk after giving birth because they are too anxious.
