I. What is “postpartum lack of milk”?
In general, under normal circumstances, 1-2 days after giving birth, there is milk secretion in the breast, and the baby can be nursed. This phenomenon occurs mostly in 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. The low secretion of breast milk may be caused by the 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 the secretion of less milk.
How to prevent lack of milk after delivery?
If you want to prevent the lack of milk after childbirth, care should start from the details of life, timely adjustment of maternal body condition, you can start from the following aspects: 1.
1, mother and baby in the same room, early opening 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 is higher and the breastfeeding period will be longer, which will help breastfeeding success.
2. Develop good breastfeeding habits.
Breastfeeding on demand, breastfeeding diligently, sucking on one side of the breast after emptying the other. If the breast is not sucked empty, 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.
3, nutrition to ensure.
During the breastfeeding period to ensure adequate absorption of maternal nutrition, 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, eat more lactation food such as peanut rice, yellow cauliflower, fungus, mushrooms, etc.
4. 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.
5. Ask a professional lactation consultant to promote breast milk as early as possible.
When you find less milk, you should ask a professional lactation consultant to promote breast milk as early as possible. The treatment is generally better within 15 days of discovering the lack of milk. If the time is too long, the epithelial cells of the mammary gland will shrink and the effect of lactation will be poor.
Finally, remind the mothers: make sure that the baby sucks the breast more, which is the main prerequisite for milk secretion.
