What to do if you have no milk the second day after giving birth

In life, we always encounter many problems that give us headaches, especially when many new mothers are inexperienced and have no milk when feeding their baby for the first time. This is really a headache for many new mothers. At this time, experienced people will think of various methods to induce lactation. However, everyone who has had experience in inducing lactation knows that it is a very difficult task. So are there other ways to solve this problem? Let’s take a look at what to do if you have no milk on the second day after giving birth.

1. Let your baby suck more

The baby's sucking on the nipple can promote the mother's secretion of prolactin, increase milk secretion, and allow the mother's milk to come out in time to avoid blocking the milk ducts and causing milk to not come down or even causing inflammation.

1. When your breasts are swollen on the first day, you should let your baby suck them, otherwise the milk may not flow out next time.

2. Even if there is no milk, let the baby suck more than 8 times a day, once every 2-3 hours, and each time for no less than half an hour.

2. Drink milk soup

The lack of milk after a normal birth may also be due to insufficient nutrition of the mother, resulting in insufficient milk production.

Therefore, mothers should strengthen nutritional supplements, eat more nutritious foods rich in protein, fat, etc., especially soups that increase milk production, such as pig trotter and soybean soup, tofu and crucian carp soup, etc.
