Many women choose to breastfeed after giving birth because breast milk provides comprehensive nutrition, and babies who drink breast milk have stronger bodies and fewer illnesses than those who drink formula. But the amount of breast milk secreted by each mother is different, some mothers have less breast milk, while others have more breast milk. So what if there is a shortage of milk after one month of breastfeeding?
Due to the lack of experience in taking care of their first child, many women may become flustered, leading to physical exhaustion and reduced sleep quality, which can directly affect milk secretion. So if you want to have more breast milk, you first need to rest well and learn to adjust your mindset. If you don't know how to take care of the baby well, you can ask your family to help take care of it together, and you will have time to rest.
Secondly, attention should be paid to adjusting diet. If there is little breast milk, one should drink more soup, such as black chicken soup, pig foot soup, pork rib soup, etc. Soup can promote milk secretion. If there is little breast milk, one should eat less greasy food, especially avoid foods that return milk, such as chives, malt, and so on. The most delicious and light diet is to choose some easily digestible and absorbable foods.
If there is little breast milk, it is necessary to massage the breasts more. You can apply a hot towel for 5-10 minutes after taking a shower every day, and then gently massage the breasts. Massage can stimulate the breasts and greatly help with breast milk secretion. Before breastfeeding, gently massage the breasts can also stimulate them. In addition, it is best to let the baby drink one side empty before switching to the other breast during breastfeeding, which is more conducive to milk secretion.
