The best time to increase breastfeeding after childbirth

After giving birth, many mothers who plan to breastfeed will have insufficient breast milk. At this time, they will embark on the road of boosting milk to ensure that the baby has enough food. However, when boosting milk, they must pay attention to the best time, so that the effect of boosting milk can be the best. So, when is the best time to boost milk production? When is the best time to boost milk production after giving birth?

1. The best time to increase milk supply

Decreased breast milk after childbirth means that the pregnant woman does not have enough milk to feed or nourish the baby during breastfeeding. This is caused by a high fever or persistent mood swings in the body. Usually, mothers need to increase milk supply at this time. If they wait until the breast milk is completely cut off before increasing milk supply, the body's estrogen will have decreased, and the mammary glands will not be as developed as before childbirth. The mammary ducts of some women have even closed. At this time, increasing milk supply will certainly not achieve the expected effect of mothers. If you increase milk supply when breast milk is sufficient, it means that the baby has sufficient food, which is also unnecessary. Increase milk supply is always unnecessary. Therefore, it is best to supplement milk when breast milk is low.

2. Common problems when chasing milk

1. Keep the mammary glands unobstructed

Mothers must pay great attention to mammary duct obstruction. Now many mothers have insufficient milk due to poor mammary duct obstruction. Some will continue to experience milk engorgement. Therefore, whether you are chasing milk or not, you need to keep your mammary duct obstructed.

2. Children should be given appropriate amounts of baby milk powder.

After breastfeeding for a period of time, you need to add infant formula to your baby appropriately, so that you can feed your baby formula to fill his stomach after weaning or when the supply of breast milk decreases.

3. Choose the right ingredients

When chasing milk, you can eat more foods that secrete milk, such as peanuts, cucumbers, lentils, tofu, nourishing soup, etc., which are more suitable to eat when chasing milk, but you cannot eat foods that cause milk to stop flowing.

It is not difficult to see that in the case of milk chasing, not only the best time is needed, but also attention should be paid to the matters of milk chasing, so that the milk chasing can be achieved to the best. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to it in the future. Is your milk chasing method correct now? Is it wrong?
