How many days after giving birth will I have milk?

After a mother gives birth to a child, a question will always arise in front of the mother, that is, when will she have milk and when can she feed the child the first mouthful of breast milk? In fact, everyone's physical fitness is different, and it is precisely because of this reason that every mother will have inconsistent milk production time after giving birth. So how many days after giving birth will it take for the mother to have milk? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction on how many days it will take to produce milk after giving birth.

Because of the different physical conditions of the mothers, the time of milk production will also be different, usually on the third day after delivery.

It is recommended that pregnant women promote lactation through diet therapy:

1) In the first week after delivery, liquid food should be the main food to help regulate and repair gastrointestinal function, so the diet should be light and have enough calories. Do not consume the milk-inducing soup immediately, as the mammary glands are not yet unobstructed. Consuming it too early can easily cause mammary gland blockage.

Recommended diet: 3-7 days after delivery, you can cook lotus root and yam in porridge and eat them together; the staple food can be millet, two-grain porridge (red beans and rice cooked together), and corn; it is recommended to eat green leafy vegetables, eat small meals frequently, and you can choose sweet potatoes, corn, and fruits as snacks; among the fruits, do not eat tropical fruits such as durian, it is safest to eat ordinary common fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, etc.; do not eat out-of-season fruits or fruits that are produced during the severe cold season.

2) In the second week after delivery, you should focus on replenishing blood and Qi to help the body recover. At the same time, it also allows the blood and Qi in the body to flow smoothly to prepare for the next step of inducing lactation.

Recommended ingredients: pork liver, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, pig heart, red beans, pig blood, and spare ribs. When making soup, you can add appropriate amount of astragalus to replenish qi.

3) The third week after delivery is the best time to induce lactation. For mothers with insufficient milk, they should drink more milk-inducing soups during this period.

Recommended ingredients: rooster, spare ribs, fish, peanuts, eggs, soybeans, pig's trotters (can be stewed with soybeans, peanuts, enoki mushrooms, day lily or kelp), sea cucumber; river fish recommended include crucian carp, carp, silver carp head soup; marine fish recommended include salmon and trout

The above is an introduction to how many days it will take to produce milk after giving birth. I believe that all female friends who have just become mothers have a clear understanding of this. Because everyone's physical fitness is different, the time for milk production will also be different. However, because mothers want to feed their children the first mouthful of breast milk as soon as possible, the above also introduces some corresponding methods of promoting milk production. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
