What to do if you don’t have enough milk while breastfeeding

Insufficient milk during breastfeeding can be improved through dietary adjustments, unclogging the mammary glands and more feeding methods. 1. Dietary adjustments: After giving birth, you can drink more soup and freshly squeezed juice, milk and other nutrients, eat more than usual, such as pig’s feet, peanut soup, fish soup, pork chop soup and other types of soup, on the milk secretion has a certain degree of help. 2. Unblocking the mammary glands: can be relieved by hot compresses and massage. For example, mothers can use hot towels to apply hot compresses to their breasts to promote local blood circulation and unblock some of the mammary ducts, which in turn promotes milk secretion. If the effect of hot compresses is not good, you can massage and unblock the mammary glands through a professional mammary gland unblocker to improve the blockage and promote milk secretion. 3. More feeding: The sucking action of the newborn can stimulate the nipple to cause lactation reflex and increase milk secretion, so more feeding is also helpful for milk secretion. If you have insufficient milk during the breastfeeding period, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to improve under the guidance of the doctor.
