What to do if there is not enough milk?

What should I do if there is not enough milk? This is a very complicated issue. There are many reasons. Breast milk is the baby's food. Now it is encouraged that mothers feed their babies with their own breast milk. This is very healthy and more beneficial to the growth and development of their babies. But now many mothers are facing a situation where their milk is not enough and the baby does not have enough to eat. So what should they do when faced with insufficient milk? Let’s take a closer look below.

Breast milk is the best food for babies. Many wives face the problem of insufficient breast milk, and new fathers are really worried when they see this. How can we change this situation? The best way is to add a catalyst to breast milk. But what to add and how to add it are often difficult for new fathers to start. In fact, there is no unique solution, you can choose according to the actual situation.

(1) Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because when the baby sucks the nipple, it stimulates the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

(2) Avoid taking medication. During the breastfeeding period, you must remind your wife not to take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as antithyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If your wife is sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

(3) Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. You must fulfill your role as chef well and choose foods with high nutritional value for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of your wife's milk.

(4) Maintain the nurse’s good mood. After giving birth, mothers will experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which will restrict the secretion of breast milk. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, you have an obligation to create a good living environment for your wife and pay attention to her mental health at all times.

(5)Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combining them with lactation-promoting foods, the effect will be more obvious. Foods such as pig's trotters and peanuts can promote the secretion of milk.

The above are some ways to deal with insufficient milk. All mothers must pay attention to it, learn more about the reasons, take timely measures, and deal with it to make sure they have enough milk. After all, feeding your baby with breast milk is very good. Breast milk can improve your baby's resistance, so all mothers must feed their babies with breast milk. I wish all mothers good health.
