Many postpartum women choose to breastfeed because breast milk is easier to absorb and has higher nutritional value, making breastfeeding more effective. When it is found that there is a decrease in postpartum milk, measures must be taken to improve and understand the specific reasons. So what causes a decrease in postpartum breast milk?
During the breastfeeding period of postpartum women, if they often stay up late, it can disrupt their sleep schedule, making it easy to have insufficient sleep. If postpartum rest is not good, there will be less milk and the quality of milk will also be affected. It is recommended that postpartum women rest more and not be too tired, so that the quality of milk can be improved.
When taking care of a baby, women can be very tired and easily irritable due to trivial matters. If they are in a bad mood, their emotions will be suppressed, which will also affect the quality of milk and reduce the amount of milk. Women must maintain a good mood, not be too tired, and learn to release stress. They can take a walk, listen to some soothing music, and their families also need to take care of their babies and help share the burden.
If postpartum women get sick, have symptoms of a cold, or have a fever, they are also prone to lactation. It is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible when feeling unwell, so that the disease can be cured and the milk supply can return to normal. When there is a shortage of milk, parents also need to encourage their babies to suckle more, which can promote milk secretion.
