During lactation, many women hope to have sufficient milk to ensure their babies have enough to eat and drink, which is beneficial for their physical development. However, many women find that their milk supply is decreasing after giving birth, and they are very worried. So, why do women have less and less milk after giving birth?
During breastfeeding, the amount of milk produced by women decreases, which may be caused by excessive life pressure. After all, many women need to work shortly after giving birth, and at this time they also have to bear the burden of breastfeeding their babies. The pressure of life and work can make women physically and mentally exhausted, affecting the secretion of prolactin in the body and reducing milk production.
Secondly, insufficient intake of nutrients in women's daily lives can also lead to insufficient milk production after childbirth. So if women want to ensure sufficient milk during breastfeeding, they should first rest well, maintain a good mentality, grasp the balance between work and life, and not put too much pressure on themselves. Moreover, women should pay attention to their diet and ensure a balanced nutrition in their body, which can promote the secretion of breast milk.
Generally speaking, women should drink more soup after giving birth, such as black chicken soup, crucian carp soup, etc., and consume enough protein to ensure sufficient milk. In addition, women should pay attention to sucking more nipples on their babies during breastfeeding, which can stimulate breast milk secretion, prevent milk blockage, and prevent diseases such as mastitis. At the same time, women should pay attention to breast hygiene and clean their breasts in a timely manner before and after each feeding.
