1. Don’t wait for milk.
Milk is not something you have to wait for, especially in the first few days after the baby is born. This is the most important period for milk secretion. Even if the breasts don’t feel anything at this time, they only secrete some transparent and light yellow milk. Colostrum still requires sufficient sucking stimulation from the baby to form a strong nerve signal.
2. Let your baby suck more.
If you miss the best time to start breastfeeding, it doesn’t matter. You have to let your baby suck more. This is a universal magic weapon. The baby's sucking will stimulate the nerves of the mammary gland. The mammary gland is like a manufacturing factory. It needs someone to place an order before it can start production. Otherwise, if the milk produced is not given to the baby in time, it will send a signal to the mammary gland, making it think that you don't need so much. milk, so the milk production becomes less and less. Therefore, if the mother wants the baby to suck more, only enough stimulation can ensure the baby's milk supply. The frequency of this stimulation depends on the baby's needs, generally 8-12 times a day.
3, replenishing qi and blood
Qi and blood deficiency or yin deficiency are the most common symptoms of women. Mothers with these symptoms must first take care of their health before chasing milk, otherwise the effect will not be obvious no matter how much they drink. If you have five qi and blood deficiency, you can eat donkey hide gelatin cake , crucian carp and angelica astragalus soup , red adzuki beans longan and red date soup. If you have yin deficiency, you can eat Ophiopogon japonicus, etc.
4. Drink more water
I don’t know if mothers have noticed that when you are breastfeeding, you will feel very thirsty. At this time, you need to respond to your body's condition and drink water in time when you are thirsty to replenish water and help produce more milk. Generally speaking, you should drink about 2 liters of water a day.
5. Eat more lactating foods (lactating mothers are not recommended to eat lactating foods, especially within the first week after delivery)
Mothers can eat more lactating foods, such as peanut pulp , papaya, milk, crucian carp soup , pig's trotters, soybeans, day lily soup, etc., don't touch milk foods.
6. Pay attention to rest
Many mothers report that when they don’t get enough rest, their milk supply will be less. Therefore, at this time, the mother should accompany her baby to have a good sleep, and the amount of milk will increase.
7. Be confident that you can breastfeed.
It is human nature to be anxious when milk supply decreases, but mothers still have to have confidence in themselves and firmly believe that they can do it.
8. Be less angry and stay in a good mood.
Being angry will not only reduce milk supply, but also transmit your emotions to your baby, which is detrimental to your baby's development. Sometimes mothers will face accusations from family members, saying that you "don't have enough milk and make the baby hungry". Mothers should ignore it and try to stay in a happy mood
