There is a period and quantity standard for milk secretion. Once there is a problem with milk secretion, it is easy for the milk to disappear suddenly and stop secreting, which will have a certain impact on the baby's diet and cause the baby's development to be greatly hindered. When there are signs of milk withdrawal, you must take timely measures to increase milk production. Let’s take a look at the most effective way to increase milk production. I hope everyone can understand.

Every mother wants to give the best to her children, and for babies, mother's milk is the best food. But in life, there are always some mothers who find that they suddenly have no milk.

The basic method of increasing milk supply: hanging feeding, more sucking, and emptying. The mother should feed as frequently as she feeds a newborn baby, more than 12 times within 24 hours. If conditions permit, arrange a few days to keep the baby close to her body, hold the baby in her arms all day, and feed the baby whenever she has the chance; if she persists for three days, it will definitely be effective; after feeding one breast, if the baby cries, do not rush to give formula, but switch to the other side and continue feeding. You can change breasts several times during one feeding, and the milk will not be consumed dry up, but the baby will consume more and more. If you have already started mixed feeding, gradually reduce the number of times you give your baby formula. Also, do not feed with breast milk first and then with formula. Give full breast milk once and then formula the next time. After a long interval, when there is more breast milk, give full breast milk again. Let the child have a few meals of pure breast milk, and do not expect formula. Remember to use a breast pump to completely empty your breast every time your baby finishes sucking.

Drink more water, eat supplements, and eat more foods that increase milk production, such as: peanut milk, rice wine, papaya, milk, crucian carp soup, pig's trotters, soybeans, and day lily soup, etc. Avoid foods that reduce milk production. Keep drinking water for a long time and make sure to drink more than 2,000 ml of water every day. Qi and blood deficiency or Yin deficiency is the most common symptoms for women. Mothers with these symptoms must first regulate their bodies before increasing milk production, otherwise no matter how they increase milk production, the effect will not be significant. To replenish qi and blood deficiency, you can eat crucian carp, angelica and astragalus soup, and red bean, longan and red date soup. If you have Yin deficiency, you can eat Ophiopogon japonicus and other herbs.
