Reasons for low breast milk after childbirth

Many women will experience a decrease in milk supply after giving birth, especially those who are thin. Their milk may not be sufficient for the baby. In fact, everyone's physical condition is different. If those with weak bodies continue to breastfeed, it will not only harm the mother's body, but also cause malnutrition to the baby. So what are the reasons for less breast milk after childbirth?

Every woman has different physical fitness, so the amount of milk after pregnancy and childbirth will also be different. Some mothers have plenty of milk, which can provide all the food for the baby's growth and development, but some mothers have less milk. Of course, less milk will affect the baby's development. So what exactly causes insufficient milk?

First of all, if the mother has little milk, it may be congenital. There are genetic reasons, and it may be that the mother's generation was like this. So no matter what method is used to deal with it, no matter how much nutrition is supplemented, the milk will be insufficient, so some mothers will give up breastfeeding at this time.

The second reason is the mother’s own, which is acquired. Many women become overly nervous when they become mothers for the first time, which leads to excessive psychological burden and physical fatigue. This will result in very little milk. Therefore, they need to open their hearts and relax, so that their milk will increase.

In short, there are many reasons why pregnant women have low milk supply. For example, physical illness can also cause insufficient milk supply. Low milk supply may also be due to lack of knowledge about childbirth and breastfeeding. Therefore, new mothers must maintain a good attitude to benefit the health of themselves and their babies.
