What to do if one breast has less milk

After entering the lactation period, a woman's breasts begin to gradually secrete milk. The amount of milk secretion is affected by many factors. Because the breasts are symmetrical, it is easy to think that the amount of milk secreted should be similar. In fact, some new mothers find that the amount of milk secreted by the two breasts is not the same, which may lead to the inability to satisfy the child. So, what should you do if one breast has less milk? How to solve it?

1. Let your baby suck the nipple

After the baby is born, you can let the baby suck the nipple frequently to stimulate the mammary glands to secrete milk. If the mother's milk supply becomes less, the number of times the baby sucks the nipple can be appropriately increased. Mothers can feed their babies breastfeeding whenever they are hungry. The more they feed, the more milk they will secrete.

2. Don’t add milk powder casually

Generally speaking, mothers will not sleep much in the first few days. However, mothers should not use milk powder to supplement at this time, because once the baby eats milk powder, the milk sucking ability will become weaker, which will cause the mother to produce less and less milk.

3. Proper massage

Mothers can massage their breasts properly to help increase milk supply.

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.
