Pay attention to night feeding
Since mothers produce 50 times more prolactin at night than during the day, frequent nipple stimulation can not only cause uterine contractions, reduce the amount of postpartum bleeding , but also promote the mother's milk secretion, and at the same time help enhance the relationship between mother and child. . Therefore, in addition to ensuring that the baby is breastfed during the day, mothers should also pay attention to night feeding.
Fully emptying the breasts
Fully emptying the breasts can effectively stimulate the secretion of prolactin, allowing mothers to produce more milk. Generally, mothers can express milk by hand or use a breast pump to fully empty the breasts of milk.
Avoid feeding breast milk with a bottle
Once a baby has used a bottle, it will be difficult for the baby to learn to suck the mother's nipples in the correct way. Moreover, compared with sucking the mother's nipple, sucking a rubber pacifier is more labor-intensive. Breastfeeding after feeding with a bottle often causes the baby to become disgusted with milk. Therefore, even if your baby has problems sucking milk, you should try to avoid feeding breast milk from a bottle.
As the age of the baby increases, the baby needs to be fed with bottles. When you start introducing a bottle, use the bottle only once a day. Pay attention to whether there are any changes in the baby's breastfeeding, and then gradually increase the number of times you use the bottle.
Pay attention to breast hygiene
Healthy breasts are the basic condition for providing high-quality breast milk for babies. Ensuring breast hygiene and preventing breast extrusion and damage are extremely important for effectively improving the quality of lactation.
Prevent your baby from overflowing milk
Although overflowing milk is a normal phenomenon, it may also threaten the health of your baby. For example, once milk overflow occurs after the baby falls asleep, if the mother is not careful, the overflowing milk is very likely to flow into the baby's trachea, causing suffocation , or even threatening life. Therefore, new mothers must burp their babies after feeding to avoid overflowing milk. If the baby falls asleep after feeding, the mother should also pay attention to it.
