For lactating women, when the milk in the breast is eaten up by the baby, the milk will gradually reappear. Under normal circumstances, it takes 1 to 2 hours to achieve full secretion. So for the baby, under normal circumstances, there will be no shortage of milk. Of course, some mothers may have insufficient milk for some reasons. At this time, you can give your baby some infant formula.

Precautions for breastfeeding

1, breast care:

If the pregnant mother decides to breastfeed, she should maintain her breasts before pregnancy, pay attention to massage when taking a bath, and wear a loose bra to avoid blocking her breasts. If there are problems such as nipple invagination, she can consult a doctor and try to correct it as soon as possible.

In addition, the mother's nipples should always be kept clean to prevent nipple and breast diseases. If you have the right posture and method when feeding in the future, it will not be a big problem. After feeding the baby every time, if the baby doesn't suck the breast empty, use a breast pump to suck out the excess milk. This is not a waste. Emptying the breast can promote more milk secretion, alleviate the pain of new mothers' milk increase, and also have a health care effect on breast health.

2. Open the milk as soon as possible:

Generally speaking, 30 minutes after delivery, although the new mother has not started milking, the milk in the breast may not be enough. Try to suck the baby's breast and cultivate the habit of sucking the baby's breast as soon as possible. Otherwise, the baby may reject the mother's breasts in the future.

3. Don't throw away colostrum:

Within five days after delivery, the milk secreted by the mother is called colostrum. Some mothers think that colostrum is "dirty" or that colostrum has no nutritional value and is squeezed out and discarded. It is a pity. In fact, colostrum is the essence of nutrition, which is rich in the highest immune factors and growth factors in the human body, which can enhance the baby's immunity and promote the baby's development. Therefore, feed your baby within five days after delivery and try to supplement your baby with nutrition.

4. Pay attention to insufficient breast milk:

When the mother's breast milk is insufficient, the breast often does not swell before breastfeeding, and the baby swallows less when breastfeeding. After breast-feeding, the baby suffers from short sleep, frequent crying, and no or slow weight gain. At this time, mom needs to find out the reason to correct it.

5. It has a great influence on the baby to eat milk while sleeping:

Don't let the baby sleep with the nipple, which is not only unsanitary, but also easy to cause suffocation and vomiting, which will also affect the development of the baby's gums and lead to deformity.

6. Keep a good mood:

A mother should nurse in a relaxed mood. If the mother's mental burden is too heavy or nervous, it will affect the secretion of milk.
