How long does it take to breastfeed? Breast array refers to the process that when Ma Bao is about to breastfeed, the milk will swell more and more, and it will not feel as soft as before, accompanied by slight pain, and then the milk may gush out or even gush out.
Half a year before delivery, especially in the first three months, the amount of breast milk is very sufficient, and the "milk matrix phenomenon" also appears frequently, and it is quite embarrassing to overflow in many cases. But this phenomenon is rare after half a year after delivery. On the one hand, the amount of breast milk is obviously less, on the other hand, the baby eats more. Therefore, although the situation of the milk array is the patent of breastfeeding mothers, it is also staged!
Whether breast-feeding can't be done first without breast array may be due to personal constitution. Some people are born with little milk, not to mention milk array, and some are occasionally. I have a colleague who was born without milk. Her breasts are still big, but there is no milk. I've tried many ways to chase milk, but none of them worked. If this is your case, I suggest using milk powder instead.
Second, it may be because there is too little breast milk. Too little breast milk, the whole breast is soft, too little milk secretion, and there will be no breast array. At this time, you can drink some prolactin soup. If there is more milk secretion, breast formation will also occur. If the baby is over one year old, with the increase of complementary food, milk secretion will decrease. If the baby can grow evenly, it doesn't matter even if there is no milk array.
How to ensure that the milk is sufficient when breastfeeding, so that the baby can suck more. Don't give up breastfeeding just because you think the amount of breast milk is low, or let your baby eat some milk powder before breastfeeding, and then go to breast milk. This method is wrong. Before breastfeeding, try not to let the baby eat, so that the baby can suck more.
Second, drink more soup and water when the breasts are unblocked. Drink more soup, and there will be more breast milk, which needs water in the body. Only when the body is rich in water can it be converted into more milk. Only when there is too much milk will there be a milk array phenomenon. Interlocking, indispensable.
Third, stimulate the breasts more, and there will also be a phenomenon of breast array. The stimulation mentioned here can be baby sucking or self-massage. But you must pay attention to your hygiene when you massage. Wash your hands frequently and keep dry and hygienic. You can also use hot compress.
Fourth, it is also necessary to keep a good mood. As we all know, anger can lead to milk back and milk blockage. Therefore, even if there is little breast milk, don't be anxious and angry, and treat it with a normal heart. In the meantime, you may hear some gossip outside, so ignore it.
