After childbirth, mothers should let babies suckle the nipples as soon as possible. Mother's colostrum is very precious, and the number of times babies suckle in the early stage helps with milk secretion. At this time, babies' hearts and strength are relatively strong, and they can better massage the areola. The more frequent breastfeeding, the more abundant milk secretion will be. In addition, mothers must have more skin-to-skin contact with their babies after childbirth, which can also stimulate milk secretion.
1: Massage to stimulate breast milk production. After 24 hours of childbirth, the chest can be massaged, which will help with lactation. By using traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques, the originally adhered, closed, and twisted milk ducts can be opened, achieving unobstructed milk ducts and preventing postpartum breast pain, milk stagnation, breast hardness, mastitis, and other conditions. This allows babies to easily and smoothly consume breast milk.
2: Master the timing of lactation-inducing soup. Lactation-inducing soup has a good effect on lactation after childbirth, but the timing must be mastered. It is generally recommended to start drinking lactation-inducing soup 3 days after childbirth. In addition, mothers should pay attention to replenishing water when breastfeeding, or drinking more soybean milk, almond powder tea, fruit juice, etc., so that the supply of breast milk will be both sufficient and nutritious.
3: Ensure adequate rest. If mothers don't sleep well, milk secretion will also decrease. Breastfeeding mothers should seize the time to rest. During the day, they can ask their husbands or family members to help take care of the baby while they take a nap.
