How to increase breast milk

When a mother has low milk supply during breastfeeding, it will affect the baby's physical development. We should eat some foods that promote milk secretion, such as crucian carp soup or peanut pig's trotter soup, and we can massage the breasts appropriately, which will help the secretion of milk. When there is little milk, we can increase the breastfeeding time to promote milk secretion, and most importantly, strengthen the mother's nutritional supplements.

Mom, don't panic.

Because this is a normal phenomenon. As the breastfeeding time increases, the baby's complementary food is added, the baby's sucking times decrease, and the mother's nutritional status changes, the milk supply will decrease. We just need to find the reason and deal with it rationally.

Increase breastfeeding frequency

Generally speaking, the longer the breastfeeding time, the less milk the baby will produce. We can increase the number of times the baby sucks. The more often the baby sucks, the more milk the baby will produce, because when the baby sucks, it stimulates the production of prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

Mothers should increase nutrition appropriately

You can drink some soups that help lactation, such as crucian carp and tofu soup, pig trotter and kelp soup, yam and pork ribs soup, etc. These are foods that are both nutritious and help lactation.

Massage or apply hot towels to breasts

Doing so will help unclog the milk ducts and allow the milk to flow more smoothly. You can also hire a lactation consultant to do specialized lactation services, but it is best to understand the market first to avoid being cheated.

Mom, stay happy.

A happy mood can make people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and to a certain extent it will also promote the body to produce hormones that secrete milk. All cells are in an active state, and the milk secreted is the healthiest.

Mothers should continue to breastfeed

Don’t think that you have less milk and are afraid that your baby is not getting enough nutrition, so you take the opportunity to wean your baby off from breastfeeding. You should know that breast milk contains a certain amount of immunoglobulin. Even if the milk supply decreases, the amount of immunoglobulin will not decrease. Therefore, insist on feeding your baby milk to better enhance your baby's resistance.
