[Pu Renyi · Popular Science] Will there be less breast milk?

Pregnant woman Lili gave birth, and her mother and baby were safe. When the nurses of the delivery room holding the baby and helping to guide Lili for breast milk, Lili frowned, and she was a little frustrated. "My breasts are very small. The younger sisters say that I can't breastfeed. The baby is not enough. "The midwife listened, soothing Lili's shoulder with a smile, and said," What your little sister said, not necessarily right, the breast is small, and it is not the same as the lactation. "

today

Let's talk about this thing about breastfeeding

Is the size of breasts related to lactation?

Women's breasts are actually composed of three parts: glandular tissue, support tissue and adipose tissue. Among them, only glandular tissue is related to milk secretion. Some people have large breasts, but the breast glands are not developed, so they have very few milk. On the contrary, some people have a flat chest, but the glandular tissue is very rich, so milk sources are continuous. So the amount of women's milk has nothing to do with the size of the breast.

How to ensure sufficient breast milk?

After childbirth, unless special circumstances such as premature birth, the mother and baby are advocating early contact with early sucking. Through the baby's sucking, the mother will secrete hormones that promote milk secretion -prolactin and oxytocin; It can be discharged unimpeded, and it is conducive to milk production after the breasts are emptied. All breast milk will suck more and more. On the contrary, if the breast catheter itself is not developed well, and the postpartum can not be able to unblock the work of sucking the catheter, the catheter is not connected, and the milk secretion is not smooth.

The diverse balanced diet can not only ensure the needs of breastfeeding, but also through the taste and smell of milk, affect the baby's future diet and diet structure, but also help reduce the mother’s postpartum weight, quickly restore the body of the hot mom. Drink enough juice, water, soup, milk, etc. At the same time, you should avoid caffeine -containing drinks such as coffee and tea.

Maternal emotional factors are also very important. Anxiety and depression will inhibit milk secretion; good mood can promote milk secretion.

Through the patient's patience

Lili has added confidence in breastfeeding and continuous breastfeeding

Looking forward to being a good mother
