2. Insufficient milk

1. Increase the frequency of breastfeeding.

Feeding the baby more milk will increase the breast milk reserves, so we can feed the baby more than 6 times a day, which will have a certain effect.

2. Keep your child close to you

If the milk supply is relatively low, it may be that the mother and child have been separated for too long. The mother should arrange to stay with the child all the time and breastfeed whenever she has the chance. Generally, it will be effective after three days of persistence.

3. Feed alternately between the two breasts.

If the child is willing to breastfeed, parents can feed the child alternately from the two breasts. The milk will not be consumed by the child, but will increase as the child drinks.

4. Stop mixed feeding first.

If you add complementary foods such as milk powder and rice noodles to your child, but the mother does not have enough milk, then stop adding complementary foods and let the child eat more milk.

5. Mothers should believe in themselves, relax, and ensure milk secretion.

It doesn’t matter if milk secretion is not good for one or two days. Breastfeeding mothers should relax and not have too much stress.
