Will my milk stop coming out if I don't breastfeed at night?

Weaning is a problem that mothers are more worried about. We all know that breast milk is essential for children's growth. Sometimes mothers will immediately become more worried if their baby does not suck the nipple all night. I think that will stop breastfeeding. So, will my milk stop coming out if I don’t suck my nipples for one night?

It should not be easy to stop milk production if you don't eat for one night, but it may be painful. If the swelling lasts for a long time, it may cause inflammation or something. If possible, you should use a manual breast pump to suck out the milk. Avoid the occurrence of milk withdrawal. Mothers don't need to worry.

What are the reasons for withdrawing milk?

First, right after giving birth, mothers and mothers-in-law think they should drink more nourishing soups to stimulate milk production, but they don’t know that doing so will block the milk on its way out, as drinking old hen soup, fish head soup, pigeon soup, etc. will cause the milk to flow back and then become less.

Second, there is disharmony at home, and people feel depressed and in poor spirits. The mood of pregnant women during the confinement period is prone to fluctuations, and they are prone to depression and crying, and a bad mood can easily cause the withdrawal of milk.

Third, take medicine when you are sick. Many diseases can lead to milk loss, such as taking cold medicine for a cold; toothache; breast lumps caused by milk accumulation, etc.

Fourth, some mothers originally have a lot of breast milk, and they think they are big cows and do not care about what they eat. They eat all kinds of food, and do not pay attention to foods that may cause milk to dry up. As a result, they have less breast milk over time.

Fifth, mothers with little milk like to hoard milk. Sometimes they feed their babies formula milk for fear that their babies will not be full. When their babies fall asleep or are not hungry, they will not drink breast milk. When their milk is swollen, they are reluctant to express it, wanting to wait for the baby to wake up and be hungry to feed them. As a result, the body cannot receive the signal to produce more milk, and the more they hoard, the less milk will be produced.

Generally speaking, it is not easy to stop producing milk if you don't suck your nipples for one night. In fact, if there is a decrease in milk production, there will be a need to increase milk production. So how do you increase milk production? Attitude is very important. Maintain a good attitude and discuss many things with your husband. Also, eat a healthy diet and have regular eating habits.
