What is “postpartum lack of milk” In general, under normal circumstances, 1-2 days after giving birth, the breasts will have milk secretion, and can be nursed to the baby, in the postpartum or breastfeeding period of little or no milk phenomenon, called postpartum lack of milk. This phenomenon mostly occurs 2-3 days to half a month after delivery. Why does the phenomenon of lack of milk occur? The secretion of breast milk has a lot to do with the mother’s spirit, emotion, nutrition, rest, feeding habits and the way of feeding the baby. Too little breast milk may be caused by poor development of the mammary glands and blockage of the milk ducts; it may be caused by excessive postpartum bleeding, infection, diarrhea and other diseases; mental stimulation such as worry, panic, annoyance and sadness may also cause a reduction in the secretion of breast milk. How to prevent lack of milk after delivery? If you want to prevent the lack of breast milk after childbirth, care should start from the details of life, timely adjustment of the maternal body, you can start from the following aspects: First, the mother and baby in the same room, early opening of the breast. It is generally believed that the presence or absence of early breast milk and the amount of lactation is largely related to the time of the start of breastfeeding and the early or late establishment of the lactation reflex. The early postnatal breastfeeding can stimulate the early secretion of milk. The newborn baby will suckle most strongly within 30 minutes of birth. At this time, the amount of lactation will be higher and the breastfeeding period will be longer, which will help the success of breastfeeding. Second, develop good breastfeeding habits. Breastfeed on demand, breastfeed diligently, and suck the other side after one breast is empty. If the breast is not emptied, the excess milk should be squeezed out. The number of early breastfeeding is no less than 10 to 12 times a day, no less than half an hour at a time, and this is the most crucial issue for successful breastfeeding. In addition, the mother should also pay more attention to rest during breastfeeding, to ensure adequate sleep and healthy, regular breastfeeding habits. Third, nutrition should be guaranteed. During the breastfeeding period to ensure that the mother sufficient nutrient absorption, but do not nourish too much. Encourage the mother to eat less and more meals, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more soup and water, and eat more lactation food such as peanut rice, yellow cauliflower, fungus and mushrooms. Fourth, prevent postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can also lead to a decrease in milk secretion. Breastfeeding mothers must adjust their mindset, maintain an optimistic and relaxed mood, and avoid excessive mental stimulation, which can lead to abnormal milk secretion. Fifth, ask a professional lactation consultant to promote breast milk as early as possible. When you find that your milk is low, you should ask a professional lactation consultant to promote breast milk as soon as possible. Generally, treatment within 15 days of the discovery of lack of milk is more effective. If the time is too long, the epithelial cells of the mammary gland will atrophy and the lactation will not be effective. Finally, remind the mothers: make sure that the baby sucks the breast more, which is the main prerequisite for milk secretion. How to regulate the lack of breast milk after delivery through diet?
