The more you breastfeed, the more breast milk you secrete. In the past few weeks, as long as the baby is hungry or wants to drink milk, try to feed it. And after one breast is empty, the other side is provided.
2. Don't worry too much
Many mothers will worry that their breast milk is insufficient and their babies are not drinking enough. But as long as the baby is active and the diaper is not wet, the mother need not worry too much.
3. Try to rest and sleep.
Lack of sleep may reduce your breast milk production. Therefore, as long as the baby sleeps, you should rest quickly and recharge your batteries, so as to ensure an adequate supply of breast milk.
Step 4 avoid drinking alcohol
You may have heard that drinking beer can increase breast milk production, but in fact, drinking beer will reduce breast milk production. According to the research, after the mother drinks alcohol, the first secretion of breast milk will slow down that day, and the overall output will decline.
5, add more liquid
If you dehydrate, the production of breast milk will decrease. Being busy and taking care of the baby can easily make you forget to drink water, so put a bottle of water in the nursing place for easy drinking at any time. In addition, foods rich in water are also helpful.
6. Remember to feed yourself
In order to maintain the supply of breast milk and your health, you need to supplement 300~500 calories every day. Eat a healthy and balanced diet and eat more fruits and vegetables.
7. Stop using the bottle
It is best not to bottle feed for the time being. In the first few weeks, breastfeeding can increase the secretion of breast milk, so try to let the baby suck. Babies suck more effectively than using a breast pump.
8. Massage your breasts
Massage breast can improve the yield and fat content of breast milk. When the baby is comfortable sucking, massage the ipsilateral breast. Massage the chest first, then move to the nipple, wait for the baby to swallow, and then massage the other breast.
According to the above eight methods, let's study together to bring rich and healthy breast milk to the baby and make the baby's healthy growth more secure.
