How to quickly produce milk after giving birth

Postpartum lactation is the biggest problem for women after giving birth, because if the expectant mother cannot secrete enough breast milk in time to feed the baby, it will affect the baby's development. Furthermore, breastfeeding is beneficial to the child's growth and the mother's own physical recovery. Therefore, it is very necessary for expectant mothers to learn some common sense methods related to postpartum milk production. The following article shares the opinions of experienced people, hoping that it will be helpful to all mothers and expectant mothers.

Effective method 1 for milk production: early contact, early milk production, early sucking

As long as the physical condition allows, new mothers should let their babies suck their nipples as soon as possible after delivery, and colostrum is extremely precious to babies. Don't give up just because there is no milk at the beginning, because the number of times the baby sucks will help the secretion of milk. The baby's sucking force is relatively strong, so you can use the baby's mouth to massage the areola. The more you feed, the more milk you produce. In addition, mothers should have more skin contact with their babies. The baby's sucking on the nipple is the best stimulation for the secretion of breast milk. After each feeding, let your baby fully empty your breasts, which is conducive to the re-production of milk.

Effective method 2 for milk production: Massage and stimulate breasts

Generally, a breast massage within 24 hours after delivery will help with milk secretion. By using Chinese medicine massage techniques, the originally adhered, closed, and twisted milk ducts can be opened to achieve unobstructed milk ducts, prevent postpartum breast pain, milk retention, breast lumps, mastitis, etc., and allow the baby to eat breast milk easily and smoothly.

Effective method 1 for lactation: Master the timing of taking lactation soup

Although postpartum lactation soup can help stimulate lactation, you must master the timing. If the lactation-inducing soup is consumed too early, the milk will come out too quickly and too much, and the newborn baby cannot eat so much at this time. It is very likely that the mother's milk ducts will be blocked, causing breast pain and mastitis. If the mother eats too late, the milk will come down too slowly and too little, which will make her nervous due to "no milk", further reducing the amount of milk secretion, forming a vicious circle.

Effective method 1 for milk production: Ensure adequate rest

Breastfeeding mothers can ask their husbands or family members to help look after the baby during the day, and take the time to take a nap.
