Many mothers are eager to breastfeed after giving birth to a child, but some practices will make their breast milk less and less! Misunderstanding one, after giving birth to the baby immediately drink soup to promote lactation The old man at home often in the new mother just after the birth of a big complement, a variety of nutrient-rich soup a steady stream, which seems to have been agreed rules, but this is really the right thing to do? In fact, the first two days after giving birth, milk secretion is not too much, are colostrum, rich in immune substances, should let the baby suckle more. On the one hand, let the baby familiar with mom’s breasts, frequent sucking colostrum, so that the mammary ducts open, promote early secretion of milk; prematurely cited a large number of “milk soup”, often lead to breast milk stagnation, breast swelling and pain, and even fever. Practice Tip: Therefore, one or two days after delivery, drink some light soup or hospital specially formulated food, not only to maintain sufficient energy, rapid recovery of physical strength, but also to ensure that the secretion of milk. Myth two, a basket of supplements, everything As the saying goes: old hen soup can not only replenish the vitality, but also promote milk, two birds with one stone. So is it that eating more supplements after giving birth will help new moms have more and better milk? For just completed the delivery of the mom, some food should not be consumed during breastfeeding, may play the role of “back to milk”. Practice point: postpartum mom’s supplements to be reasonable, and not what supplements are suitable for mom to eat, be careful “supplements” into “drugs”. Myth three, postpartum mom busy dieting and slimming Some working mothers, in order to restore the body shape as soon as possible, in order to put into work, postpartum will focus on controlling the diet, for the shortest possible time to the weight gained during pregnancy to reduce. In fact, this concept is wrong. Many new moms may not be aware that cutting down on their diet immediately after giving birth will result in insufficient milk production. The simplest trick for a mom to get enough milk after giving birth is to be in a good mood, have proper nutrition, and take care of your rest. Misconception four, to the baby to save some more milk Some moms always insist on breastfeeding after delivery, but later, found that the milk is less and less. What is the reason for this? Under normal circumstances, milk is certainly the more you eat more. There are many reasons why some new moms experience a decrease in milk production instead of an increase: they may be trying to save up milk, thinking that if they save more, they may be able to save more. This is wrong. Only at any time to the breast milk sucking empty, can ensure that the secretion at any time. Misunderstanding five, too much emphasis on their own amount of breast milk Mom should pay attention to keep in a happy mood, forget about the worries for the time being, put the household chores first in the back of the mind, fully recuperate, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, to ensure that enough sleep and rest. Must have sufficient confidence in breastfeeding, it is best to take a synchronized rest method with the baby to reduce interference. Mom’s mental uplift and pleasure will prompt the body’s prolactin levels increase, so that the milk as soon as possible to increase. Myth six, too early to add formula or other foods If the baby is in a position to accept exclusive breastfeeding, you should avoid adding formula or other foods. Just a little bit of formula, juice, boiled water or any other supplement in a bottle to feed the baby will reduce the time of breastfeeding and interfere with the production of breast milk. The more non-breastfeeding foods your baby receives, the less breastmilk will be produced the next day.
