What to do if breastfeeding milk is low

Breastfeeding is a very good way to promote the growth and development of the baby's various organs. Breastfeeding should still be insisted on, but many mothers will feel that their milk is too little and there is not enough milk to feed their babies. You can achieve the effect of milk production through diet. You can eat more peanuts, peas and papaya, etc. These foods can promote lactation after intake.

Papaya: Papaya contains a kind of papain, which has a high ability to decompose protein. It can be broken down into nutrients that are easily absorbed by the human body in a relatively short period of time, thereby directly stimulating the secretion of the mother's mammary glands, making the breasts fuller, helping milk secretion, and enabling mothers to produce milk faster.

Peanuts: Peanuts are a relatively common food. They can be used to treat spleen deficiency, nausea, edema, anemia, various bleeding disorders, and postpartum lactation.

Peas: Peas, also called green beans, are very rich in phosphorus, containing about 400 mg per 100 grams. Cooking green peas and eating them lightly, or mashing pea sprouts and squeezing out juice to drink, can both help with lactation.

Tofu: Tofu has the effects of invigorating qi and harmonizing the stomach, promoting fluid production and moistening dryness, and clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is also a lactation-promoting food. Boil tofu, brown sugar, and fermented rice in water and drink it to produce milk.

Luffa: Luffa is a traditional Chinese medicine. If you have breast inflammation, lumps during milk production, or poor milk secretion, it is recommended to stew the luffa in broth, which can help regulate breast qi and blood and promote lactation.

Day lily: Day lily is very nutritious, containing 14.1 grams of protein per 100 grams of dry product, which is almost the same as animal meat. In addition, it also contains a large amount of vitamins B1, B2, etc.

Physical massage

Breast massage requires a high level of professionalism and is difficult for ordinary masseurs to do. If you don't know how to massage, it will not only fail to promote lactation, but will damage the milk veins, causing unbearable pain. In severe cases, it will cause breast swelling and pain, leading to breast cancer.

Chinese medicine for lactation

All medicines are poisonous. Because Chinese medicines have not been processed and purified, they still contain many harmful substances. After the mother takes them, they will flow into the baby's body along with the breast milk.

Chinese patent medicine for lactation

Although they have been processed, there are currently no national standards to follow, and inferior drugs are rampant. Not only are their uses ineffective, but they also pose a threat to health.

Food supplements to promote lactation

Dietary supplements to promote lactation are currently the most scientific and safest method of promoting lactation, and are also a good method of promoting lactation recommended by many domestic institutions. There are many ways to increase lactation through food supplements, such as pig trotter soup, crucian carp soup, chicken soup, etc.
