For a newborn baby, breast milk is its main source of nutrition. At this time, the patient's digestive system has just begun to develop and is temporarily unable to accept other complementary foods. Even milk powder cannot completely replace breast milk. Therefore, for the healthy growth of children, they need sufficient nutrition. But the actual situation is that many new mothers do not have enough milk, so they are very concerned about ways to increase milk supply. So, how can we increase the amount of milk? Let’s take a closer look below. Breastfeed early and frequently: The earlier the breastfeeding time, the more it can stimulate the mother to secrete and expel milk. The lactation period is 2-7 days after delivery, and it takes time for the milk to increase from a small amount to a large amount. During this period, as long as you breastfeed your baby frequently, the breast milk will definitely increase. Adequate nutrition and diverse food: Breast milk is converted from maternal nutrients, so breastfeeding mothers should eat enough so that breast milk can be nutritious. Eat more whole grains, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, oils, and appropriate amounts of meat and soy products. During breastfeeding, mothers should try to avoid drinking large amounts of water to prevent the water content of breast milk from being too high. No fatigue and good mood: Pregnant women consume a lot of mental and physical energy during childbirth. Some even need to take care of their children day and night, which takes a long time to recover. Not getting enough rest will affect the quality of lactation. Family members should create a relaxed environment for her, and the mother should strive to maintain a relaxed and happy mood. Use medication with caution: Many drugs can enter the baby's body through breast milk. Mothers should especially avoid using the following drugs during pregnancy: diazepam, isoniazid, tetracycline, sulfonamide codeine, ergoline, atropine, aspirin, chloramphenicol, chlorpromazine, phenobarbital, etc. During breastfeeding, if the mother suffers from infectious diseases, viral colds, hepatitis, etc., her milk is not suitable for feeding the baby. I think everyone should be clear about how to increase milk supply. There are many factors that lead to insufficient milk secretion, many of which are caused by physical problems in new mothers. They can be improved through these methods, and often obvious results can be achieved. What needs to be noted is that if you have little milk, it is best not to use lactation drugs blindly, as the drug effects may be passed on to the baby through feeding, causing adverse effects. |
