Babies need to drink breast milk when they are infants. The amount of breast milk produced is generally related to the amount the baby needs. If the baby often drinks milk from one side, it will cause more breast milk to be secreted on that side and less on the other side. Over time, the mother's breasts will become different sizes. It is best to let the baby feed from both sides each time. By slowly adjusting, the amount of milk in the two breasts will be the same. Why do I have different amounts of milk in my left and right breasts? If a breastfeeding woman has a different amount of milk in her left and right breasts, it is mostly related to the feeding habits of the breastfeeding mother. It is customary to feed the baby on the breast that is used for feeding first, because the baby will empty the breast when he starts eating, which will stimulate the breast to increase milk secretion as soon as possible, thus resulting in more milk secretion. The baby is basically full from this breast, so when he feeds from the other breast, he will not eat up all the milk in the breast, which will gradually cause less milk secretion in this breast. What should I do if the left and right breasts have different amounts of milk? In this case, the baby should be fed from the breast with less milk first each time. Wait until the baby has sucked out all the milk before switching to the other breast for feeding. And you must persist in feeding in this way. After a period of conditioning and feeding, the milk supply in both breasts will gradually recover to be sufficient. If there is still a lot of milk left after the baby is full, you should use a breast pump to suck it out, or squeeze it out to prevent milk retention and swelling that may cause symptoms such as mastitis. Lactation-stimulating foods for insufficient milk supply 1. Black sesame Black sesame has the effects of nourishing the liver, benefiting the blood, and moistening the intestines. The book "Shennong's Herbal Classic" lists black sesame as a top-grade product, and black sesame has a good effect on improving mother's relatively dry hair. 2. Loofah Many people don't know what loofah is. In fact, loofah is made by picking the loofah after it matures and dries up, removing the skin, pulp and seeds, rinsing it and drying it. And loofah is a very good Chinese medicinal material. 3. Daylily Day lily is rich in nutrients, so it has high therapeutic value. Experts believe that it has the effects of dispelling dampness and heat, diuresis, and lactation. Therefore, if mothers have insufficient or lack of milk secretion after giving birth, they can stew lean pork with day lily, and the effect is very good. |
