  Women's milk intake is decreasing, and it is necessary to adjust their diet. Women should eat more dairy rich foods and less greasy and spicy foods to avoid affecting the quality of milk intake and harming the health of their babies. Moreover, women can drink more milk soup such as crucian carp soup and pig trotter soup to stimulate breast milk secretion. In addition to paying attention to diet, women should rest and regulate their bodies after giving birth, which is beneficial for physical recovery and promotes increased milk production.

  If a woman does not sit properly during postpartum confinement, or even suffers from postpartum diseases, it can affect her physical health and be detrimental to breast milk production. In addition, women should encourage their babies to suckle on their breasts more often, which can stimulate breast milk secretion and help increase milk production. However, women should pay attention to breast health and clean their breasts promptly before and after each feeding to avoid affecting the baby's physical health.

  If the nipple ruptures, women need to wait for it to recover before continuing to feed their baby, otherwise the ruptured nipple is highly likely to be infected with bacteria, which is not conducive to women's physical health. Women should also pay attention to their clothing, preferably loose and convenient clothing, especially underwear, which should be loose and comfortable to avoid squeezing the breasts, causing milk accumulation and leading to diseases such as mastitis.
