What should I do if my breasts have no milk?

Breasts are one of the most important organs for women, because the main function of breasts is to feed the next generation and provide the best nutritional supplements for babies. However, in modern life, many women experience insufficient milk after giving birth, and even more and more people no longer secrete milk, which has a significant impact on the health of the baby. Let’s take a look at what to do if there is no milk in the breasts?

1. Confidence: The mother’s confidence in her ability to breastfeed will be the basic guarantee for successful breastfeeding. No matter what shape or size a woman's breasts are, they can produce enough milk to provide rich nutrition to the baby.

2. Good mood: Whether there is enough breast milk 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.

3. Suck more: The less milk the mother has, the more times the baby should suck; because the baby's sucking force is greater, the baby's mouth can be used to massage the areola. The more you feed, the more milk you produce.

4. Empty the breasts: 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 breastfeeding, let the baby fully empty the breasts, which is conducive to the re-production of milk.

5. Feed both breasts: If you only feed one side at a time, the breast will be less stimulated and naturally less milk will be produced. Let your baby suck on both breasts during each feeding. Some babies have a small appetite and only need milk from one breast. In this case, you may want to use a breast pump to suck out the thinner milk in the front so that the baby can get thicker and more nutritious milk.

6. Replenish water: Breastfeeding mothers often feel thirsty while breastfeeding, which is normal. Mothers should pay attention to replenishing water when breastfeeding, or drink more soy milk, almond powder tea, fruit juice, original vegetable soup, etc. Just replenish water moderately so that the milk supply will be both sufficient and nutritious.
