What should I do if I have little milk but always overflow?

During breastfeeding, mothers also have to face various very troublesome problems, among which milk regurgitation is a very troublesome problem for many mothers. Because when the milk regurgitation symptoms occur, the mother's clothes are always wet, which will make the mother very uncomfortable. However, under normal circumstances, only mothers with too much milk will experience milk regurgitation. But what should you do if you have too little milk but still keep regurgitating milk?

Most new breastfeeding mothers will experience milk overflowing on its own. This usually happens to breastfeeding mothers with plenty of milk. Milk overflow often occurs when their breasts become swollen. However, some breastfeeding mothers do not secrete much milk but still experience milk regurgitation. So why does milk overflow when there is less milk?

Although some breastfeeding mothers have less milk, it does not necessarily mean that they do not have milk regurgitation. The main reason for less milk and milk overflow is due to weak Qi and blood and insufficient Qi in the middle, as well as heat in the liver meridian and abnormal secretion, which often causes milk overflow. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a weak body will not transform qi well, and therefore cannot retain milk. People with this physical condition will often sweat, and their milk will be clear and thin, and they will feel weak when producing milk.

For breastfeeding mothers who have insufficient Qi and blood, low milk secretion during lactation, and frequent milk regurgitation, it is necessary to replenish Qi and blood and increase dietary nutrition. Crucian carp, ribs, pig's trotters, fish heads, peanuts, soybeans, sheep's trotters, milk, tofu, and soy products should be added to your daily diet. These foods contain high-quality animal and plant proteins, as well as other rich nutrients, which can effectively replenish qi and blood and promote milk secretion.

In addition, you should maintain a happy mood and avoid bad mood during breastfeeding. Because mental factors can affect postpartum lactation. At this time, you must put aside all your worries, focus on recuperating your body, and increase your dietary nutrition. A good spirit and adequate nutrition will definitely increase milk secretion, allowing you to breastfeed your baby better.
