If you accidentally return your milk, how can you chase your milk back?

In the process of breastfeeding, it may be due to long -term milk discomfort, acute mastitis, physical exhaustion, sudden emotional changes (such as anger, depression, etc.) or menstrual tide, which leads to a reduction in the amount of breast milk and worry about worrying, worrying After returning milk, I hope to chase my milk quickly.

How do I chase my milk back? Moms can refer to the following specific methods and suggestions.

Clarify the principle of lactation

According to the principle of lactation, the more the breasts are lined up, the more milk secretion is. Chasing milk is to ensure that frequent milk is removed. Through a variety of methods such as effectively sucking, hand milk or breast pumps, the purpose of stimulating lactation is achieved.

Some mothers mistakenly believe that milk is saved, and she feels enough when she feels hard. As everyone knows, long -term milk will inhibit lactation, which will really lead to less and less breast milk.

Find the reason for returning milk

Then carry out the milk chasing plan

There are many reasons for returning milk. Only when the mother knows the specific reasons, can we have a more purposeful chase plan.

Breastfeeding interval is long

This reason is common in mixed feeding. The intake of each formula milk powder is equivalent to occupying the opportunity to produce milk. Over time, the body will adapt, and the amount of milk is naturally reduced.

If it is because the breastfeeding interval is long, the mother needs to increase the number of breastfeeding and shorten the lactation interval.

In addition, mothers may also cause breast milk secretion disorders due to diseases, such as hypothyroidism, pituitary dysfunction, placenta residue, obesity (BMI & 30), pregnancy hypertension, diabetic or breast development abnormalities. Risks, plus the frequency and amount of feeding, have led to the milk return over time. In addition to shortening the lactation interval, doctors' evaluation and guidance also requires doctors.

Baby is invalid to suck

The baby is difficult to have milk and improper milk posture, which will cause an ineffective sucking, causing the nipples to not be effectively stimulated and reduce lactating efficiency. In this case, it is necessary to actively adjust the baby's milk, correct the inaccurate breastfeeding posture, and then implement the milk.

Mom menstruation

Some mothers feel that the amount of breastfeeding will decrease in the days when menstruation comes, which is a physiological factor for changes in hormone changes in the body. In addition, the amount of breast milk is also relative.

In this case, it is recommended to ensure feeding frequency and strengthen sucking stimulation. The amount of breast milk can meet the baby's need. In addition, after the menstruation is over, the feeling of lactation will return.

Pregnant

If the mother is pregnant during breastfeeding, the amount of milk may be reduced due to the effects of the placenta secretion, which is normal.

If everything is okay, there is no high risk, and if the mother is willing to breastfeed, she can continue to feed. If the amount of milk is significantly reduced, you can consider adding formula for proper formula; if the baby has added supplementary food, it can also increase the intake of supplementary food.

If the mother has signs of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, there are other high -risk factors, such as premature birth, frequent contractions, etc., it is recommended to stop breastfeeding.

Mom's body protection mechanism

When the mother encounters milk stasis and acute mastitis, the body will also slow down lactation due to self -protection mechanism. At this time, the most critical thing is to allow the baby to suck more, and timely and effectively discharge the accumulated milk.

Pay attention to intimacy

Regardless of whether the baby's moon age, whether you can successfully suck the mother's breasts, the intimate relationship between the mother and baby is always the first place.

It is recommended that mothers have more patience and create more opportunities. Through skin contact, parent -child games, and sleep in the same bed, let the baby get close to the mother's arms, and then accept the mother's breasts.

Pinded water intake

If the mother often feels dry mouth, dry skin and cheeks, low urine and yellowish colors, etc., it means that the water intake is insufficient and need to be replenished in time.

However, excessive hydration (drinking soup) is not advisable, and excess water in the body will inhibit lactation.

Therefore, just drink the amount of water, the mother can appropriately replenish the water before and after feeding.

Increased auxiliary behavior of lactation

Hot compress

Plag up the breasts with warm towels before breastfeeding to accelerate blood circulation and sensitivity to nerve conduction.

massage

Along the sides of the spine, massage up and down on the back, combined with the baby's sucking stimulation, can also promote the secretion of prolactin.

Relax

When relaxing, the sub -sexual nerve excitement is conducive to promoting milk secretion. Take a deep breath, listen to music, meditation, and think about every happy moment with your baby. You can also look at the baby's photos and videos in the mobile phone, smell the baby's milk fragrance handkerchief, add the stimulus of vision, hearing, and smell These methods can relax their mothers, and they are especially suitable for mothers who chase milk when they are separated by mothers and infants.

Tips:

Moms must know that the balance of supply and demand is the goal of chasing milk. During the process of chasing milk, when the baby found that the baby had not said that he wanted to eat milk, his breasts had already felt milk, which showed a problem- Enough, you can stop chasing milk, just breastfeed.

If you blindly chase milk in order to increase milk, this may cause the mother to fall into another pit, that is, excess breast milk, and the supply is greater than the need.
