Two days after giving birth, I still haven't gotten any milk

It is normal not to have milk production one or two days after a normal birth. The first thing to do after giving birth is to start producing milk. It is healthiest for children to drink breast milk. The lactation consultant will constantly press the breasts to keep the milk supply sufficient. At this time, the baby will have to drink milk powder for two days. Don't worry if there is no milk in two days. As long as you pay more attention to diet and constantly massage the breasts, it will be easy to produce milk. Don't worry too much.

How long does it take for a pregnant woman to have milk after giving birth?

Generally, let your baby suck your milk between half an hour and 2 hours after birth, and you will soon have milk, which will be sufficient in the future. If you wait until you have milk naturally (generally you will have milk naturally after 2-4 days), the milk you will not get as much as if you sucked it early. The first seven days produce colostrum, which is rich in nutrients and relatively precious. Don’t miss it. Let your baby suck more, as it can promote milk secretion and help the uterus contract and recover.

How to increase breast milk after childbirth

1. Pay attention to your diet

After many mothers give birth, the elderly in the family will start to give the mothers all kinds of supplements. They would like to let the mother eat a chicken and dozens of eggs a day. In fact, this is wrong and can easily lead to mastitis. A baby should be fed a light diet right after birth. You can eat millet porridge, noodle soup and other light foods. These foods are rich in water and can also help produce milk.

2. Breast massage

Breast massage can also stimulate the secretion of milk, which is beneficial for helping mothers to unclog the mammary glands and prevent mastitis. If a breastfeeding mother finds a lump in her breast, she can use the correct massage method to unclog the mammary glands to prevent milk from being blocked and causing mastitis.

3. Drink more soup

Although it is not suitable to take a lot of supplements after childbirth, in order to secrete more milk, mothers can drink more soups and water. But remember not to drink thick soups, because thick soups contain a lot of fat, which can not only easily clog the mammary glands, but also easily lead to obesity. Just drink something light, but be careful not to drink too much, as this can easily put a burden on your kidneys and affect your health.

Generally, pregnant women will naturally produce milk within one or two days after giving birth. This is a physiological reaction of the human body. Of course, some mothers may produce milk for too long due to personal physical factors, and only on the third to fourth day. At this time, the baby can't wait. You can seek professional doctor's massage to stimulate milk production to avoid starving the baby.
