How to increase the amount of milk

We all know that as the baby grows, the amount of milk needed will increase, so some mothers will experience a shortage of milk. At this time, the mother's nutrition needs to be supplemented in time, because breastfeeding the baby is a loss to the mother's body. If the mother does not take some supplements, it is likely that the mother's physical fitness will become worse and worse, and the milk will become less. So how can the milk be increased?

How to increase milk supply

First: make sure the breast meridians are unobstructed. The way to determine this is to check whether there are any lumps in the breast. It is normal if there are no lumps.

If the family's financial conditions allow, it is best to find a lactation consultant starting from the first day after the baby is born. After three days of lactation, the meridians will basically be unblocked and the adult will not suffer.

Second: drink more soup, preferably vegetable soup. It is necessary to remind you here that eating greasy food is not necessarily more effective than vegetable soup.

If the baby drinks too much greasy soup, it will easily cause diarrhea, and the mother will not be able to control her body shape; if the baby drinks vegetable soup, the baby will drink breast milk healthily, the mother will not get constipated, and her body shape will not be too distorted.

Third: Every time you help your baby to breastfeed, if he is full and refuses to eat, you must squeeze out the milk, otherwise it will increase the probability of mastitis.

In short, let your baby wrap the nipple more often and suck it more often. Don’t think it’s troublesome. Also, breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to their diet.

What should mothers with less milk do?

1. First, promote lactation, then promote lactation

Normally mothers have a lot of milk, but because the mammary ducts are blocked, the milk cannot come out. Naturally, the newborn baby cannot suck it into his mouth. Massage is naturally a way to promote lactation, but it can also be combined with a milk-promoting soup to unclog the mammary glands and increase lactation. It can be said that you can get twice the result with half the effort! We recommend the Jusutong soup, which is a combination of medicine and food.

2. Increase the number of sucking times per day

The less milk the mother has, the more times the newborn should suck; since the newborn's sucking force is greater, the areola can be massaged with the help of the newborn's mouth. The more you feed, the more milk you produce. As mentioned above, sucking is a switch for a newborn baby. How can the switch be turned on if the baby is not allowed to suck?

3. You need to be in a good mood

Whether breast milk is sufficient is closely related to the psychological factors and emotional feelings of the new mother. Therefore, mothers should remain calm and patient under any circumstances, and face everything in life with a calm and happy attitude. Never get upset because your newborn is not getting enough milk.

As a new mother, you must especially hope that your milk will become more and more, and you must especially hope that your baby can have enough milk to eat. As the baby grows older, he or she will need more and more milk. Mothers can only meet the baby's needs by increasing their own milk supply.
