What to do if you have little breastmilk after giving birth

Low breastmilk production after delivery can be treated through early sucking, food supplementation and the use of medication. 1. Early suckling: It is advisable to let the child suckle breastmilk as early and frequently as possible after delivery, which is conducive to stimulating the mother’s brain to produce prolactin and other hormones to promote breastmilk secretion. 2. Food supplementation: The main components of breast milk are protein and fat, etc. Mothers can increase the secretion of breast milk by supplementing some protein-rich foods after delivery, such as carp soup and pig’s trotters soup, etc., which will help to stimulate the secretion of breast milk. 3. Use of drugs: mothers can also use some synthetic non-steroidal estrogen to promote milk production, such as ethylestradiol. When breastmilk is scarce after delivery, the mother should be examined and treated under the guidance of a professional doctor, and should also keep a positive and good state of mind.
