I suddenly stopped milking. Should I go back to drink milk or have a rest?

There are usually several reasons for the lack of milk:

1. First, the mother's diet is irregular and her nutrition is insufficient. If she eats more protein and soup, she can improve.

2. Second, the newborn grows rapidly during this period. After the newborn's food intake increases, the mother's milk is not enough for the children to eat.

If there is no milk suddenly, you can eat more milk-producing soup, such as fish soup, chicken soup and egg soup, three times a day. There is not much milk, so let the child suck more nipples when feeding, so there will be more milk, otherwise it will be returned.

Extended data

1. If the breast is swollen and uncomfortable, you can milk it, but don't milk it completely, otherwise it will promote milk secretion, which is counterproductive.

2. During lactation, attention should be paid to reducing the stimulation to breasts and nipples, the secretion of prolactin will decrease, and the amount of milk secretion will gradually decrease. Never let your baby suck milk again, and don't let your baby touch it. Avoid washing your breasts with hot water when taking a bath.

3, you can use an ice pack to compress the breast and reduce the bulge.

4. If a lump is found in the breast, it should be opened by hand in time to prevent mastitis.

5. When choosing the diet when returning milk, you should avoid peanuts, trotters, crucian carp, soup and other foods that promote milk secretion, and eat less foods rich in protein, which can reduce milk secretion. Pay attention to reducing the water intake in the diet during the lactation period.

6. Be patient during lactation, and the baby will cry and make trouble. It is forbidden to let the baby suck intermittently, and it is not allowed to put pepper on the nipple, or other precautions for returning milk.

7. Try to avoid using hormone drugs, or breast enhancement needles, which may easily cause breast atrophy or breast secretion problems.
