If you want to have more milk in the month, you can follow the following three principles:
1. The diet must be nutritious, vegetarian and thick.
Many new mothers are afraid to eat after confinement. Their daily staple food is millet, and they don't eat vegetables and fruits. They think that eating fruits and vegetables will harm the stomach of the new mother, leading to a decrease in milk, which is not conducive to the elimination of lochia and other adverse reactions.
Actually, this is not right. Fruits and vegetables are rich in trace elements, which is not only conducive to the physical recovery of new mothers, but also conducive to the increase of milk secretion.
Therefore, when the new mother is in confinement, she can not only eat more vegetables and fruits, but also pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables. During pregnancy, she can eat cows, sheep, pigs, fish, chickens, ducks and pigeons, and coarse grains can eat brown rice, black rice, Redmi, peanuts and beans. In short, food should be diversified.
2. Drink more soup food, which is good for breastfeeding.
The new mother has a poor appetite after delivery, and her skin excretion function becomes very strong, especially prone to sweating. Therefore, in the second month, you should replenish a lot of water and drink more soup foods that are conducive to milk secretion, such as juice, milk, millet porridge, chicken soup, crucian carp soup, pig's foot soup, ribs soup, etc., all of which have the function of milk secretion.
Food should be soft, delicious and easy to digest.
The new mother is very weak, and her gastrointestinal function has not fully recovered, so she can't eat hard food. On the one hand, it will cause her teeth to loosen, on the other hand, it is not conducive to digestion and absorption. The new mother's diet is not fully digested, which will definitely affect the milk secretion. Therefore, the meals cooked by the new mother are all soft and cooked, and they don't eat fried and hard. For example, before steaming rice, she can soak the rice for a while in advance to steam soft and delicious rice.
Recommend two kinds of milk soup:
1. Clear soup of crucian carp
Ingredients: crucian carp, onion, ginger slices, salt and vegetable oil.
Exercise:
1. Wash crucian carp for later use;
2. Heat the pan and cool the oil. After the oil is hot, fry the crucian carp in a pot until both sides are golden, add water, add ginger slices and keep the fire until it boils. When the crucian carp soup turns milky white, turn to low heat and cook for 20 minutes;
3. Season with salt and sprinkle with chopped green onion.
Carassius auratus is rich in protein, which can be easily digested and absorbed by human body, and has diuretic and detumescence functions.
2. Stewed tofu with loofah
Ingredients: tofu, loofah, chicken soup, salt, chopped green onion, sesame oil.
Exercise:
1. Shred tofu and loofah, peeled, washed and cut into pieces for later use;
2. Blanch the tofu with boiling water, remove it and drain it;
3. Cool the oil in the hot pot. When the oil is hot, stir-fry the loofah until it becomes soft. Add chicken soup, bring to a boil, add tofu, salt and simmer 10 minute.
4. Sprinkle chopped green onion and sesame oil before cooking.
Luffa helps lactating mothers to secrete milk, and can also prevent postpartum milk deposition.

Meat: carp, crucian carp, yellow croaker, cuttlefish, trotters, chai chicken, black-bone chicken, fresh shrimp, etc. Vegetables: lettuce, loofah, water bamboo, peas, papaya, day lily, mushrooms, medulla tetrapanacis, day lily, tofu, red beans, soybeans, peanuts, black sesame seeds, rice wine, etc.
Milk is the baby's first diet when he comes to this world. Whether the mother's milk is sufficient or not is directly related to the baby's health. However, due to the disorder of postpartum diet, mood, work or sleep, stagnation of liver qi and weakness of qi and blood, many mothers will have breast deficiency.
Here I recommend three kinds of prolactin soups that we often eat in our hometown:
First, papaya crucian carp soup
Carassius auratus soup is rich in protein, which not only has the function of lactation, but also has a good nourishing effect on the recovery of the mother. Papain, which is unique to papaya and crucian carp soup, is very beneficial to breast development, and the two components are very effective in promoting lactation.
Second, trotters grass soup
Put pig's trotters and medulla tetrapanacis into a casserole and stew the soup. Boil the soup with medium fire first, and then simmer it until the meat is rotten.
Third, pig's trotters and lily soup
This soup has the effects of nourishing blood and producing sperm, strengthening and benefiting bones, and promoting lactation, which has a good effect on the lactation of parturient.
Maternal vitality has not recovered after giving birth to a child. Some foods should be paid attention to and should not be eaten:
First, avoid eating raw and cold food.
Second, avoid spicy food, such as pepper, strong tea, coffee alcohol and so on.
Third, don't eat sour food, such as ebony, lotus seeds, persimmons and pumpkins.
Fourth, don't eat hard and indigestible food.
Five, avoid eating salty food.
If you want to have a good lactation during confinement, then the principle of "four more" can best promote lactation. Let the baby suck more, the parturient should eat more fluids, eat more foods rich in protein, have more rest and keep happy.
After delivery, the secretion of breast milk is not waiting, but sucking through the baby's permission. Newborns are allowed to suck frequently, which can trigger the "milk ejection reflex", thus increasing the milk yield, preferably not less than 8 times a day, which can stimulate the mother's nipples and promote milk secretion.
The food that promotes milk secretion most strongly is usually water, not the so-called food supplement. Eating more liquid foods, such as porridge, soup, drinks, etc., is most helpful for lying-in women. The recommended amount of water is more than 2500 ml per day and milk is 500 g per day. Milk should be skimmed or low in fat to avoid excessive weight gain. Soups can be light, such as egg soup, vegetable soup and crucian carp soup, to avoid excessive fat. Breastfeeding doesn't mean eating and drinking. It's very important to control your weight, otherwise the road to losing weight in the later period will be extremely difficult.
As for protein, it is not only the guarantee of breast milk nutrition, but also beneficial to lactation. The first choice is eggs, milk, fish and shrimp, lean meat, soybeans and other high-protein foods. Finally, I feel relaxed, get enough sleep, have a good spirit and good health, and naturally have good lactation.
About the author: He Yun, a registered nutrition technician, is a contracted lecturer in Liaoning Dietitian Office.
The start and maintenance of breastfeeding are regulated by complex neuroendocrine mechanisms, and a single food cannot achieve the function of milking. Want to be a "cow" mother, we must start from three aspects:
Where does your milk come from? -Endocrine function
In a woman's life, breasts can only play a role in lactation during pregnancy and postpartum, and it is the change of hormone level in your body that plays a decisive role. After delivery, estrone and progesterone gradually subsided, and prolactin continued to rise, so that milk began to secrete.
Milk secretion is controlled by two reflexes:
One is milk production reflex, which determines milk yield. The baby sucks the nipple to stimulate the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, so that the mammary gland secretes milk and stores it in the mammary duct; If the baby does not suck the nipple, it will not be able to maintain the lactation effect after 3-4 days.
The second is the inferior mammary reflex. Babies sucking nipples can also stimulate the pituitary gland to produce oxytocin, which will contract the muscles around acinus and promote the discharge of milk. Inferior mammary reflex is easily affected by fatigue, tension, pain caused by chapped nipple and other emotions. During breastfeeding, ensure that the number of breastfeeding is more than 8 times a day, so that the serum prolactin level can be maintained at a high level at the next feeding. If you want to increase the amount of breast milk secretion, you should first increase the number of breastfeeding and shorten the interval between breastfeeding.
The milk yield of most lactating mothers is far greater than that of a baby!
What affects the quality of milk? nutritional status
What affects the secretion of milk? -Emotional state
Therefore, understanding the mechanism of lactation and mastering the correct feeding methods are the most useful secrets of lactation!
If you want to have enough milk and breastfeed your child exclusively, you should pay attention to other aspects besides eating in the month.
First, open the milk as soon as possible, so that the baby can suck more.
Whether it is a natural delivery or a caesarean section, let the baby suck the mother's nipple as soon as possible to stimulate lactation. Even if there is no milk secretion at first, you should insist on letting your baby suck more. My child was delivered by caesarean section. There was no milk at first, but fortunately, the little guy was patient and didn't suck it seriously. After a day, there will be milk.
Second, the newborn baby feeds water and milk with a spoon.
When the baby comes out and the mother has no milk, feed the baby with a spoon and try not to use a bottle. The baby just eats a small amount and slowly increases. I'm afraid some babies won't let their mothers suck milk after using the bottle, because the way to let their nipples suck is different from that of their mothers. The nurse in the hospital said that sucking three or four mouthfuls of mother's milk is equivalent to sucking a bottle. Children are also very smart and will choose something easy to eat.
Third, milk secretion can be promoted through lactation and lactation.
When the mother's milk is low or her breasts are blocked, you can go to the hospital or the maternal and child store to find a wet nurse to breastfeed and nurse. Breast nurses can drain their mothers' milk through professional methods to promote milk secretion. My little Bao mixed feed in the first month. After confinement, he went to the hospital several times and then switched to exclusive breastfeeding.
Fourth, feed children as needed.
In the first two or three months, mothers have to feed their children as needed, and you have to feed them if they want to eat. The more your baby makes you suck, the more milk you get. My little treasure ate once every hour two months ago, and it was the same at night. Too tired! It will be fine after these two months, and he will only eat once every two to three hours.
Mom should drink more soup.
Usually, the mother's diet is good in the second month, but it is necessary to achieve a balanced nutrition and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. As long as you are breast-feeding, you should drink soup every meal, so the nutritional value of milk is very high. Don't be too greasy in soup, otherwise it will easily block the mammary duct and be very painful. Generally, sweet wine and egg soup, crucian carp and papaya soup, pork knuckle and peanut soup, grass fish head and bean curd soup, and pork bone and lotus root soup are all very milky.
Have a good rest and be happy.
Mothers should not only pay attention to the maintenance in the month. As long as the mother is breastfeeding, she should try to rest well and keep her mental state, whether in or out of the month. Only when mother has a good rest and is in a good mood will there be enough milk. The most taboo is getting angry and crying during breastfeeding.
I work as a nutritionist, but I am an ordinary mother in my life. During the second month, I also experienced the process of insufficient milk and chasing milk, and realized exclusive breastfeeding through dietary intervention. So I will share my theoretical knowledge and my life experience with you, hoping to help you!
First of all, determining the amount of milk includes the following aspects: diet, sleep, mood, and baby's stimulation. Four * * * work together.
Therefore, mothers must remember that whether there is milk or not, more or less, we must let the baby suck more nipples and promote milk secretion through nerve reflex. Secondly, the mother must keep enough sleep and have a good rest. My experience is that poor sleep directly affects milk production. I take care of the children at night, so there is less milk. My mother helped me take care of the children, and the next day I had a lot of milk, but the number of times I fed the children at night was the same. Third, keeping a good mood is conducive to lactation, and you can't have a hard time with yourself in the month.
In terms of diet, the secret is protein and water. Eat more protein food and drink more water. The combination of the two is a variety of low-fat and high-protein soup, such as crucian bean curd soup, soybean pig's foot soup, Coprinus comatus soup, tomato beef soup, melon mutton soup, carrot sparerib soup and so on. ......
Finally, you can also use some traditional Chinese medicines such as medulla tetrapanacis and Tongru granules, but the effect varies from person to person. I wish mother good health and baby strong!
Just after sitting for three months, I understand the pain of not having milk! However, I finally found a way to give milk. My son is four and a half months old and has enough milk to eat.
I ate all the traditional weaning foods when I was confined, and pig's trotters, crucian carp, old hen and medulla tetrapanacis were useless! I was so anxious that I cried!
Later, Ma Bao introduced the method of personal practice, and it really worked!
1. Stewed ribs with day lily. Eat meat, eat day lily, put more water, you can make sparerib soup and drink soup. You can eat anything anyway.
2. Stir-fry black beans in a frying pan. Simmer the black beans in the pot until the skin of the black beans cracks. Soak this black bean in water to make tea. It can be paired with red dates and medlar, which are beneficial to qi and are good for maternity.
Drink black bean water for half a month. I have eaten day lily stewed ribs four or five times, but I stopped eating when I was full of milk, and there was no milk back.
I hope my answer is useful to mothers with insufficient milk! Ask in the comments if you don't understand, and I'll answer.
About whether I can drink Chinese medicine.
First of all, the safety of Chinese medicine is not clear. I don't recommend drinking during pregnancy and lactation.
Medicine and food are homologous, such as red dates and medlar soaked in water.
The most important thing to give milk is three mornings after delivery, "early contact, early sucking and early milk opening", early contact and early milk opening. Simply put, the baby sucks more and gives milk early.
1. Newborns need to breastfeed 8- 12 times every 24 hours or every 2-3 hours 1 time.
2. Feeding method: after breast sucking 15-20 minutes, feed on the other side. Next time, start with the other breast and feed alternately. (Some babies with high proficiency drink 10- 15 minutes, or even 5- 10 minutes, which will slow down the sucking and swallowing speed, and there is no problem. )
3, drink more soup, daily intake of 1500ml of water, every meal to ensure that there are vegetables and soup.
Diet contributes to the quality of milk.
If you drink all kinds of milk wine, including fermented eggs and yellow wine chicken soup, it is not advisable to increase milk production and shorten milk production time through these methods.
Alcohol can be transmitted through breast milk, disturbing children's sleep worries and causing problems such as drowsiness, shallow sleep, irritability or abnormal excitement. Even if these are cooked, there will still be residue!
If children drink alcoholic milk, they will feel sleepy, so the interval between drinking milk will naturally become longer, and the mother's milk will accumulate more, which will lead children to think that the milk production will increase, but in fact, the milk production will decrease for a long time.
1, high quality protein
The intake of protein by wet nurses has obvious influence on lactation. In other words, if the mother's dietary protein intake is low, the protein content in breast milk will be very low!
Breast-feeding mothers should add about 80g of fish, eggs, poultry and lean meat every day than before pregnancy. These foods are rich in high-quality protein. If conditions do not permit, soybeans and their products can be used instead.
2. vitamin a
Lactating mothers need to supplement 600mg of vitamin A. Animal liver is rich in vitamin A, and it is enough to increase the intake of animal liver 1-2 times a week.
3. Iodine
Iodine promotes baby's growth and development and metabolism of protein, sugar and fat. Iodine deficiency can lead to baby's growth retardation and seriously affect mental development.
It is recommended that wet nurses eat iodized salt for cooking. Iodized salt can provide about 120mg of iodine, and appropriate intake of iodine-rich seafood such as kelp, laver, fish and shellfish.
4、DHA
DHA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is very important for baby's brain and vision development.
Breastfeeding mothers can get enough DHA through diet and dietary supplements, and then pass it on to their babies through breast milk to meet their baby's DHA needs. The suitable intake of DHA during lactation is 200mg/ day, which can basically meet the requirement of 100mgDHA in milk.
DHA in the diet mainly comes from seafood, salmon, sardines and other marine fish. Shrimp, crab and shellfish; Cuttlefish; Seaweed such as kelp, laver and Undaria pinnatifida. Eggs also contain DHA, but the content is much lower than that of seafood.
Finally, lactating mothers should ensure more than 8 hours of sleep every day to avoid excessive fatigue. Fatigue can also affect the quality of milk and milk, but it needs the joint efforts of other caregivers!
Author: (Xu Maji) registered dietitian, I persisted for 3 weeks before becoming a cow!
Drinking porridge is easy to digest and nourish the stomach. The question of "what kind of porridge to eat in the month can make more milk" can actually vary according to the ingredients in different places. Next, I recommend several kinds of porridge. Zi Yue's mother can ask her family to make it for herself.
1. Egg millet porridge: Eggs can help new mothers replenish protein and restore their physical strength. Millet can help new mothers nourish their stomachs, sleep well and promote lochia discharge. Mother has good health, good sleep and more natural milk.
The practice of egg millet porridge is relatively simple. Boil the water first, then pour the washed millet into the pot to cook. When the porridge is almost cooked, beat the eggs into the pot and stir. A nutritious and delicious egg millet porridge is ready.
Second, glutinous rice red bean longan porridge: first wash and soak red beans for two hours, then add water and put them in the pot to cook. When the red beans are slightly cooked, add the washed glutinous rice and longan and cook together. After the porridge is cooked, add appropriate amount of brown sugar and stir evenly.
This kind of porridge can help new mothers get rid of moisture, regulate the spleen and stomach, and moisten the intestines to relieve constipation. Of course, milking works well.
3. Crucian carp porridge: Crucian carp porridge can be said to be delicious and nutritious. I feel that Cantonese people like this kind of food very much. Crucian carp has always been recognized as a milk food, and then cooked with rice and vegetables into porridge, which is not only nutritious, but also delicious.
