How to produce milk quickly after caesarean section

The most concerning issue for women after giving birth is the issue of milk. Especially for women who have had a caesarean section, if the milk cannot come in in time after delivery, the baby needs to be fed with milk powder. Therefore, in order to allow the baby to eat breast milk as soon as possible, mothers are very concerned about how to quickly produce milk after a caesarean section. Let's take a look at it below.

How can women produce milk quickly after cesarean section?

1. Women who have undergone a cesarean section should let their babies breastfeed as soon as possible, because early contact between mother and baby will increase lactation, so the baby can suck the breast about half an hour after delivery to promote milk secretion. When the baby sucks the nipple, it will promote the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland in postpartum women, thereby increasing milk secretion as soon as possible.

2. The reflex caused by the baby's repeated sucking action will cause the pituitary gland to release oxytocin. This substance can effectively reduce bleeding after cesarean section and promote uterine contraction. Moreover, letting the baby suck the breast frequently can empty the milk, which will also better increase postpartum lactation.

3. If women want to produce milk as soon as possible after cesarean section, they must also ensure that their postpartum nutritional intake is reasonable and balanced, especially some protein-rich foods in soups must be arranged and used reasonably. This type of nutrition is very important for increasing lactation and ensuring good quality of milk secretion.

4. After cesarean section, women should also pay attention to rest more, maintain a positive, optimistic and healthy attitude, and avoid bad emotions and mental stimulation, so that the postpartum milk can be secreted faster and better.

Precautions for breastfeeding after cesarean section:

The skin of a newborn baby is delicate and rich in blood vessels and can absorb a variety of substances through the skin. New mothers, out of joy, kiss and touch their babies countless times a day, which causes cosmetics to be transferred to the baby's skin. The toxicity of cosmetics is a long-term effect that is not easily detected in the short term, but can induce cancer over time. Therefore, cosmetics must be used with caution to prevent carcinogens and teratogens in the cosmetics from entering the baby's body through breast milk and poisoning the health of infants and young children.

Women should avoid consuming foods containing caffeine during breastfeeding, as caffeine can stimulate the nervous system. It is likely to enter the child's body through breast milk, causing damage to the child's nervous system and heart, and causing indigestion.
