The secret to getting more milk...

These days, our backstage mothers seem to have made an appointment, and the problems are very similar:

Teacher, help, what if the milk is missing?

Teacher, what can I increase when my milk eats less?

There was not enough milk, the family has been clamoring to add milk powder to the child, but I refused, I have to hurry up and chase the milk! Teacher support it!

As a nursing mother, the lack of breast milk is really an uncomfortable thing. So I tried my best to chase milk: pig's trotter soup drank a lot, Chinese medicine soup boiled a lot, the nipples were almost sucked by the baby, and the milk was still not much more, what can I do? Is it so hard to condition less milk?

In fact, the conditioning of less milk requires the common cooperation of all parties and the persistence of the mother. Today's article is a summary of the experience of many mothers who have successfully adjusted their milk, hoping to give mothers with less milk a little encouragement and confidence, exclusive breastfeeding, although not easy, but not impossible.

In order to facilitate the mothers to chase the milk, I made up a poem of oil, hoping that everyone can remember -

Firm confidence is the prerequisite, breast patency is a must;

Baby sucking is indispensable, determine the physique and then adjust;

Hanging feeding and saving milk is not advisable, and reducing milk powder is not in a hurry;

Peace of mind is key, and it's easy to get more milk!

These few words, seemingly simple, really did it, and it is impossible to think about milk! Let's expand on this:

1. Strengthen breastfeeding confidence and ensure mammary patency

Many of the mothers we meet have less milk, they are "less milk", why is it said to be "less milk"? Due to the lack of breastfeeding knowledge of the family, the baby cries, sleeps badly at night, dusk and other phenomena are the manifestations of insufficient breast milk, and when the breastfeeding mother feeds, it is "ironic, sarcastic, and shocking", which seriously affects the mood and confidence of breastfeeding mothers, so more and more milk powder is added, and breast milk is less and less.

If you want pure breast milk, then be confident and feed your own milk and let others say go!

With confidence, we have to "hardware" to keep up. It is that our breast conditions are suitable for babies to suck. If the mammary glands are not passed, the little baby has little strength, and after sucking for a long time, the milk will not come out much, and milk stasis will form.

What should I do if I want my breasts to be unobstructed? Baby sucks effectively! Let the baby take the correct latch position to suck the breast, if it still does not work, you can gently comb the breast with your own hands or find a professional lactator or breast milk guidance to help unclog the breast, the breast is unblocked and then let the child eat, it is very smooth.

2. Baby sucking stimulation and body conditioning

Our breasts are like a processing plant (but not just a factory), the baby's sucking stimulation is the order, only the baby continues to place orders, in order to make our breasts continue to produce milk! Therefore, mothers with little milk must not ignore the baby's sucking. Remember to use the correct latch position to allow your baby to suck effectively!

With the stimulation, what can the mothers do if their physical condition can't keep up? At this time, we need to observe ourselves, there are many kinds of conditions of milk, but the most common is the lack of qi and blood and liver depression of nursing mothers.

Insufficient qi and blood, it is very easy to understand, qi and blood is the biochemical source of milk, qi and blood are insufficient natural milk can not be more, the mother of this condition is generally pale, milk is thin, the breast is soft, there is a targeted tonic blood to increase the milk.

Liver depression, but also very easy to understand, angry and depressed, the chest is always as unsmooth as holding breath, this situation of the mother's general breasts are swollen and hard, the stool is not good, the milk is thick and yellow, to get the qi out of the heart, do not hold, according to the kneading of the middle point and the nipple root point is a good way.

Find the right state of your body, the right conditioning, in order to be targeted, half the effort.

3, it is not recommended to hang feeding, save milk, milk powder should be gradually reduced

Some people say that since increasing the baby's sucking can stimulate milk secretion, then I will let the child suck it all the time, that is, the legendary "hanging feeding", we are very much not advocating that the baby suck all the time, because it is too tired, the child is tired, the mother is also tired, and the exhaustion when feeding will inhibit the secretion of breast milk, and also make the baby stressed.

Whether it is the mother feeding or the baby feeding, it is happy, relaxed, relaxed, is to promote milk production.

"Then don't you let the children eat all the time, can I save milk and eat it again?"

No way! Isn't that going from one extreme to the other? Milk is not saved, but it will be saved less and less! Feed on demand, feed when the baby needs it, don't care about the others, watch the baby don't look at the clock!

It should also be emphasized that our general milk-chasing mothers are mixed feeding, and to gradually reduce the addition of milk powder, we must not cut it off one-size-fits-all and cut off the milk powder at once. Step by step, such as adding three times a day, 30 ml each time, we can reduce it once, or reduce the amount of each addition, so that the baby is prepared, the family is also mentally prepared, and gradually replace the milk powder with milk.

After conditioning many mothers with little milk, we found that the support of the family is particularly important for chasing milk. If the family does not understand or even "pull the hind legs", then the possibility of success in milk chasing is really unlikely, after all, the feeding method is not only the choice of the mother, but also the choice of a family.

If you are determined to breastfeed exclusively, then calm yourself down, increase sucking, supplement nutrition, condition the body, not impatient, milk will definitely gradually increase.
