What should I do if my baby has less milk at 5 months old?

For babies, breast milk is the best food that cannot be compared with any other food. Many wives face the problem of not having enough breast milk, and new fathers are really anxious when they see this. How can we change this situation? The best way is to add a metal catalyst to the milk. But new fathers are lost as to what to add and how to add it. In fact, there is no unique solution. Let’s take a closer look at it.

My baby is five months old and breast milk is suddenly less. What's going on?

When the baby is five months old, the reason for the sudden decrease in appetite is generally due to weak qi and blood, or blocked milk channels, which is related to the influence of the mood. The former is that the breasts are softer and there is no feeling of swelling, while the latter is that there is swelling or pain, and different treatments are required. It is recommended that women maintain a positive attitude and drink more milk-producing soups on a regular basis, which will be more conducive to breastfeeding. If the milk supply does not recover, you should still pay attention to adding infant formula.

Can babies be given complementary food at five months old?

As the baby grows older, the mother needs to add complementary foods to the baby in addition to continuing to drink milk-producing soup. The nutritional value of breast milk is no longer enough for the baby's development after 6 months. Baby food can start with just rice cereal, and egg yolk can be added in small amounts. Start feeding your child a variety of vegetable purees after 5-6 months. There are various processed vegetable purees or vegetable powders on the market, which are more suitable for babies. Because the price of vegetable puree on the market is relatively expensive, parents can make their own vegetable puree, which is not only cost-effective but also fresh.

After the baby is born, he needs to breastfeed, but some mothers do not eat enough. Many people want to know why their baby's breast milk suddenly decreases after five months. This may be caused by weak blood or blocked milk ducts, or it may be caused by a bad mentality leading to milk withdrawal. Women should maintain a cheerful attitude and drink more milk-inducing soups.

Breastfeeding mothers and fathers should also pay great attention to water supplementation. Because mothers always feel dry mouth, they can replenish water while breastfeeding, or drink more healthy drinks such as fresh fish soup, old hen soup, fresh milk and boiling water. It is enough to supplement water appropriately, so that the supply and demand balance of milk will be both sufficient and nutritious.
