What to do if your breasts are empty

Lack of milk in the breasts will affect breastfeeding during lactation. This may be due to blocked mammary glands. You can let the baby suck the nipple half an hour after delivery. Sucking the nipple can promote milk secretion. Some women cannot synthesize milk due to insufficient nutritional supplements, which will lead to lack of milk in the breasts. Therefore, you should eat more fish and bone soup to promote milk secretion, and massage the breasts appropriately.

What to do if you have no milk after giving birth

1. Let the baby suck the nipple half an hour after birth. Let the baby suck the mother's nipple within half an hour after birth. The baby's sucking can effectively stimulate the mother's hormone secretion, which in turn promotes the glands in the breast to secrete milk. The more the baby sucks, the more breast milk will be secreted. 2. Drink the lactation-inducing soup three days after delivery. Drinking lactation-inducing soup too early will cause the milk to come out too quickly and in excess, and the newborn baby will not be able to finish it. Not only will it cause waste, but it will also cause the mother's milk ducts to be blocked and cause breast pain. Drinking lactation-inducing soup too late will cause the milk to come out too slowly and too little. The mother will become nervous due to the lack of milk, and the milk production will further decrease, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, it is generally recommended to give mothers lactation-promoting soup starting on the third day after delivery.

3. Perform breast massage within 24 hours and three days after delivery. It is best to do breast massage in the first few days of milk production to help stimulate milk production. Generally speaking, the best effect is achieved by massaging once within 24 hours and once within 3 days after delivery.

Massage method to promote lactation

1. Circular massage: Place your hands on the upper or lower part of the breast and massage the entire breast in a circular motion;

2. Spiral massage: Hold the lower part of the breast with one hand, and use the index and middle fingers of the other hand to massage in a spiral shape towards the nipple;

3. Acupressure massage: Open your hands on both sides of your chest, and gently press from both sides toward the nipples.

Regarding the situation where the breasts do not secrete milk after giving birth, I would like to say that this problem is the most headache-inducing and worrying thing for all mothers. Not only the mother will be anxious, the whole family will be worried. Because of the female physiological structure, the breasts are most vulnerable during the lactation period. Therefore, it is most important to maintain a good mood and take good care of your breasts. Breastfeeding mothers should pay extra attention to breast hygiene. It is best to choose pure cotton breast pads from a big brand and wash and replace them frequently. If the breast pad is not breathable, it may cause poor milk secretion from the breasts, and in severe cases it may cause inflammation. I hope my sharing can help more mothers who have no milk after giving birth.
