How long does it take to produce milk after a normal birth?

Giving birth is undoubtedly a risky thing for both the child and the mother. Many accidents have occurred during production, which would plunge the whole family into darkness. Of course, everyone hopes that everything will go well. Whether it is before or after delivery, diet is the top priority. Expectant mothers or pregnant fathers must pay more attention to it. How long does it take to induce lactation after a normal delivery?

Generally, if there are no special circumstances, women can secrete breast milk within 48 hours after giving birth. Some pregnant women will even secrete a small amount of milk after the embryo is delivered.

In the first half month after giving birth, the mother's milk is generally less metabolized, and the amount of milk slowly increases after half a month. Although the amount of milk varies greatly from person to person, most babies can get enough milk from their mothers and grow up happily. However, in recent years, the number of mothers with actual milk deficiency has continued to increase. Insufficient breast milk not only causes great inconvenience to parents, but more importantly, it affects the normal growth and health of the baby. When encountering this kind of situation, mothers should improve the breastfeeding method, correct it in time, and make sure your baby is full and well fed.

Many pregnant women, in order to allow their babies to have milk, are eager to drink milk-inducing soup or some milk-inducing medicine after giving birth. In fact, it is not easy to drink milk-inducing soup too early after giving birth. Under normal circumstances, the secretion of milk will be slower for pregnant women who have undergone caesarean section. If you use milk-inducing soup too early, although the secretion of milk will be increased, if the milk secretion increases too much later, it will inevitably lead to milk accumulation, and pregnant women will be more likely to get mastitis and develop postpartum fever.

Generally speaking, pregnant women start drinking milk soup 3-4 days after opening milk. It is absolutely forbidden to drink bone soup before opening milk. Repaying milk is very easy. The baby should be allowed to suck the nipple as early as possible, and should continue to suck even without milk, for 15 minutes each time. You can use a manual breast pump or have your husband help you. To put it simply, you can't drink bone broth without milk. You cannot drink ingredients containing maltose, such as maltose extract. Maltose has the effect of reducing milk production.

If the pregnant woman is healthy, well-nourished, and secretes a lot of colostrum, she can appropriately delay the time of drinking porridge, stop drinking milk soup early, and the amount of consumption can be relatively reduced to avoid excessive blood congestion and discomfort in the breast.
