If you suddenly have no milk, you can remedy it by doing this

The sudden absence of milk or the sudden decrease in milk supply will make the mother very worried about the baby's healthy growth, so scientific and effective remedies are particularly important. After the baby is born, the mother should let the baby suck more, insist on breast massage for ten minutes every day, drink more nutritious soups that promote lactation, maintain a happy mood, and get enough sleep. If these four points are achieved, the milk supply will definitely be sufficient.

1. After the baby is born, he must be allowed to suck more

Let the baby suck the nipple about half an hour after birth, and try to increase the number of breastfeeding as much as possible. The milk at the beginning is very, very little, only a few drops. The breast milk at this time is colostrum, which is yellow in color. Colostrum only exists within 5 days after delivery, followed by transitional milk (milk secreted by the mother within 6-10 days after delivery), mature milk (milk secreted by the mother within 11 days to 9 months after delivery), and late milk (milk secreted by the mother 10 months after delivery)

According to scientific tests, the nutritional value of female colostrum is about five times that of mature milk. Colostrum is rich in immune cells and immunoglobulins, which can not only improve the baby's immunity, but also clear out aging and necrotic cells in the baby's body, which is beneficial to the baby's healthy development. In addition, the fat content of colostrum is not high, which is just right for the baby's underdeveloped intestinal system, reducing the burden on the intestines and making it more suitable for the baby's growth.

After the baby is born, the body actually has a certain amount of energy reserves, which can meet the metabolic needs for at least three days. Therefore, even if the breast milk has not been successfully produced within these three days, the mother should not worry that the baby will be hungry and start feeding milk powder immediately. At this time, you can first feed some boiled water or light rice soup. Be sure to let your baby suck more. When he is tired or falls asleep, use a breast pump to continue to increase milk supply until he is successfully producing milk.

2. Massage your breasts for ten minutes every day

Women's bodies actually have a "faucet valve", which is the two armpits. On the first day after delivery, you can massage them yourself or ask your family to help you massage them. Rubbing them against each other for ten minutes is mainly to open up the tendons and veins, relax the muscles and activate blood circulation, harmonize qi and blood, and prevent mastitis. If you haven't produced milk within three days after delivery, you should ask a professional masseur to perform a breast-stimulating massage.

3. Drink more nutritious soups that promote lactation

Tongcao crucian carp lactation-promoting soup - it is best to buy wild crucian carp with a golden body color. Most of the crucian carp we eat now are farmed, and the effect is not as good.

Preparation method: Stew 1 live crucian carp and 6 grams of tongcao together until the soup turns milky white. Eat the fish and drink the soup. Drink it twice a day for 3-5 days.

Efficacy: This soup has the effect of promoting diuresis and promoting lactation. It can not only improve the lactation effect, but also help the mother's physical recovery.

Tongcao pig's trotter lactation-promoting soup - add some peanuts, soybeans, red dates and tongcao and stew together.

Efficacy: It has a strong effect of nourishing blood and activating blood circulation. When used with soybeans, it not only has a good effect on lactation, but also supplements calcium, which can promote the mother's recovery as soon as possible.

Preparation method: 1 fresh pig's trotter, 6 grams each of peanuts, soybeans, and red dates, and 3 grams of tongcao. Put all these ingredients in a pot, add about 2 kilograms of water and cook into soup. Drink it twice a day for 3-5 consecutive days.

Tongcao Rooster Soup - Many mothers drink a lot of hen soup during the confinement period. In fact, rooster soup has the effect of nourishing blood and qi, and promoting lactation.

Preparation method: 1 fresh rooster, 3 grams each of angelica and tongcao, put all these ingredients in a pot, add about 2 kilograms of water and cook into soup, skim off the layer of clear oil on the soup, drink it twice a day for 3-5 consecutive days.

The above lactation-promoting soup is what I drank the most during the entire lactation period. I have personally experienced that this soup is very effective. Some other soups like rice wine boiled eggs and millet porridge also have the effect of promoting lactation.

4. Maintain a happy mood and get enough sleep

During the entire breastfeeding period, the mother's mood is very important. A bad mood will affect the secretion of milk. The mother must also ensure more than 8 hours of sleep a day and avoid excessive fatigue. When the baby sleeps, the mother should also rest with the baby so that she will not feel particularly tired when feeding at night. Family members should pay full attention to the mother, communicate with her frequently, help her adjust her mindset, relieve stress, cheer up, and build confidence in breastfeeding.
