Is there still milk after abortion during breastfeeding? How to increase milk after abortion during breastfeeding?

Abortion during breastfeeding will have a certain impact on breast milk, and the amount of milk will decrease, but after a few days of abortion, there will still be milk. At this time, the mother should not only let the body recover as soon as possible, but also supplement more nutrition and try to catch up with the milk~

Is there still milk after abortion during lactation?

Abortion during breastfeeding generally does not cause milk to stop flowing, but the milk may be less in the first few days of the operation. The milk will be less after pregnancy, but there will still be milk after abortion. The hormones in a woman's body change after pregnancy, and the milk is in preparation for postpartum breastfeeding. Therefore, there will be milk after abortion and termination of pregnancy.

How to avoid breastfeeding mistakes

1. I thought I would feed my baby only when my breasts were full, or that I had no milk.

In fact, many mothers never have breast engorgement after giving birth. Breast milk is produced when the baby sucks, which stimulates the secretion of prolactin and oxytocin. Prolactin guides the alveoli to secrete milk, and oxytocin guides the lactiferous ducts to squeeze the milk toward the nipple. Only then can the baby eat milk. In other words, if you don't feed, there will be no milk.

2. Thinking that no breast engorgement means no milk

There are differences in breast engorgement or not depending on the mother's physique. Many mothers lactate in the early postpartum period, whether they are feeding or not, so their breasts are often engorged. It usually takes several months or even more than half a year for such mothers' breasts to "learn" to lactate when the baby is feeding, and not to "live" when the baby is not feeding. Some mothers, however, directly achieve this state of "supply and demand balance" after giving birth. The latter are lucky! The risk of milk knots is low

3. Thinking that you must drink soup to produce more milk

Some mothers are prone to breast engorgement when drinking soup or eating certain foods. However, breast engorgement does not mean too much milk. It is just that the breasts secrete milk when the baby is not eating. It is a misalignment of the lactation time and a false impression of "too much milk". Don't think that you will feel engorged every day during the entire lactation period.

4. Try everything to increase your milk supply

Using a breast pump to pump vigorously, drinking milk-inducing tea randomly, having a lactation consultant help you to increase your milk supply, drinking a lot of so-called milk-inducing soups, and eating strange things all bring extra risks. Improper use of a breast pump can damage the nipples and cause milk knots; unconventional lactation consultants can also do these things; drinking soup and eating a lot can make the mother gain weight, the milk is greasy, and the baby has diarrhea. The most frustrating thing is that after trying all these methods, it is often useless to increase milk supply, but it is effective in undermining the mother's confidence.

5. Thinking that children should eat all at once or at regular times

The stomach of a newborn baby only has 3-5ml, and less than 30ml when it is one month old. Eating small meals frequently, eating frequently and sleeping frequently is the way most babies do, and it is also the most suitable way for them to absorb nutrition and rest. There are babies who eat a lot at one meal and eat long intervals, but they are only a minority. So you should feed your baby on demand according to his needs.

6. Children don’t sleep well because they don’t eat enough

Some mothers think their children are hungry when they see that they are not sleeping well. They wake up after a short nap during the day and have difficulty falling asleep at night. After asking about the details of their upbringing, I found that the reasons why these babies are not sleeping well are usually due to the following reasons: the children are not active enough during the day; the children are not satisfied with the sleeping conditions (they can sleep for a long time when they are held, but they wake up after a short sleep when they lie down); the temperature is not suitable, either too cold or too hot.

7. The child will not sleep until he has taken the milk powder

Many mothers who feed their babies with mixed milk feel that they cannot reduce the amount of formula milk because their babies will not sleep after breastfeeding and must sleep after formula milk. But in fact, the reason is that the baby usually likes the feeling of being half asleep and half awake while still sucking the nipple in a daze when breastfeeding, and the mother feeds the baby formula milk in order to make the baby sleep. As a result, the baby is used to the last step before bedtime is to drink from the bottle. He will not sleep before this step.

8. Assuming that the child is crying because he is hungry

A healthy newborn who is well fed and well rested should be in a good mood - but this is based on the premise that the baby's psychological needs are also met. The baby needs to be in contact with the mother, to eat when he wants to eat, not to eat when he doesn't want to eat, to sleep when he wants to sleep, and to have a lot of play when he doesn't want to sleep. In addition, the baby is very sensitive to the mother's mood. In the arms of a mother who is anxious when feeding, the baby will be uneasy.

9. I heard that I need to feed my baby frequently to increase milk production, so I feed my baby day and night.

In fact, as long as the amount of formula milk is reduced, the mother can breastfeed on demand. Feed the child when he wants to eat, and don't feed him when he doesn't want to eat. The child will automatically eat more frequently because he is hungry, and frequent feeding is still based on demand as the bottom line. Over-frequent feeding will annoy both the child and yourself. Don't feed when you are very anxious, let the child be comforted by family members, relax for a while, and adjust your mood before feeding.

10. Chasing milk until you feel upset

Pursuing exclusive breast milk deliberately can make some mothers feel entangled and irritable. Eating is only one aspect of parenting. What babies need is not only milk, but also a mother. Make sure you use the right techniques to increase milk production, and then let the results take their own course and enjoy being with your child. Of course, you should also learn more about breastfeeding techniques and experience, so that "letting nature take its own course" is truly a mentality rather than self-consolation.

How to boost milk production

Method 1: Hanging feeding and multiple suction and emptying

Feed as frequently as you feed a newborn baby, more than 12 times in 24 hours. If conditions permit, arrange a few days to keep the baby close to you, hold the baby in your arms all day, and feed the baby whenever you have the chance. Do this for three days and it will definitely work. After feeding one breast, if the baby cries, do not rush to give the baby formula, but switch to the other side and continue feeding. You can switch breasts several times in one feeding, and the milk will not be eaten up, but will be eaten more and more. If you have mixed feeding, gradually reduce the number of times you give the baby formula, and do not feed breast milk first and then formula. Give full breast milk once, and formula the next time. After a long interval, when there is more breast milk, give full breast milk again. Let the baby have a few meals of pure breast milk, without expecting formula. Remember to use a breast pump to completely empty the breast every time the baby finishes sucking.

Method 2: Drink more water and eat more food to meet your needs

Eat more milk-inducing foods, such as peanut milk, rice wine, papaya milk, crucian carp soup, pig's trotter, soybean, day lily soup, etc. Don't touch things that reduce milk production. Drink water for a long time, and ensure that you drink more than 2,000 ml of water every day. Qi and blood deficiency or yin deficiency is the most common symptom of women. Mothers with these symptoms must adjust their bodies before increasing milk production, otherwise the effect will not be significant. To replenish qi and blood deficiency, you can eat crucian carp, angelica and astragalus soup, red bean, longan and red date soup. For yin deficiency, you can eat ophiopogon japonicus, etc.

Method 3: Feeding while lying down

I was lying down to feed during the entire breastfeeding period. If I can learn to lie down to feed, it will be good for night feeding.

If you are worried about your baby's nose being blocked or otitis media, feed him while he is sitting down.

However, practice has shown that mothers instinctively do not cover their babies, and the possibility of babies getting otitis media due to lying down feeding is very small, and lying down feeding also stimulates the breasts to secrete milk.

Method 4: Use lactation drugs

There are many lactation drugs on the market, especially Chinese patent medicines, such as ***, raw milk granules, lactation cream, etc., as well as some granules for lactation products such as Youbuyuan or Chinese medicine prescriptions. I don't know much about many products myself. I only took the lactation Chinese medicine prescribed by my father and became a big dairy cow with my own efforts. I have learned about so many products recently after slowly contacting many mothers who are chasing milk. No matter what kind of medicine it is, mothers must know their own constitution. Don't take it immediately when you see something that can promote lactation. I found that many mothers will do this. When they hear that there is something that can promote lactation, they will take action immediately. I don't know what the ingredients of this thing are? Are there any side effects? Does it have any effect on the baby? So before taking any medicine, first find out the ingredients of each medicine, and then decide whether to take it after understanding the positive and negative effects of these ingredients. Maybe some medicines can make you have more milk but make the quality of milk very bad. These must be taken into consideration. Instead of just expecting to achieve a certain effect, you should not blindly follow others, thinking that what others have taken and what works for them will definitely work for you, and what others have taken and what has no effect will not work for you. Everyone's physique is different, so find the answer for yourself, and others can't give you any answer. Also remember never to rely on and expect to increase milk supply by taking medicine. Some mothers have more milk when taking medicine, and less milk after stopping the medicine. At this time, you have to find the reason yourself. Any medicine is just a trigger. Long-term breastfeeding depends on your own long-term persistence to keep a lot of milk.

Method 5: Breast pump to increase milk

Using a breast pump to express milk or expressing milk by hand is an artificial way to increase the frequency of milking, and it is also a way to increase milk production. Because the breast pump artificially simulates the baby's milking, it can make up for the insufficient feeding times caused by the baby not being around or the baby eating too little. However, frequent use will also have a problem, which will lead to excessive milk secretion and insufficient nutrition intake, which will make the mother thin. Therefore, mothers should strengthen nutrition at ordinary times. The breast pump will not make your milk less and less. Those mothers who feed their babies every time should also remember to completely empty the breast pump once after the baby finishes feeding, so that the milk will come faster next time.

Method 6: Start by reducing milk powder

Resolutely put an end to using milk powder as a retreat. Do not use milk powder as a retreat. Never think of having milk powder as a backup. Just treat it as if there is no milk powder. Just work hard, work hard, and work hard again! Thinking about the toxic milk powder incident, it is better to be safe than sorry. I am afraid that the can of milk powder I bought is toxic. So, don't accept letting your child drink toxic milk powder. I have always insisted on not adding milk powder, and I work hard to produce milk! If you are already mixed feeding, please reduce the milk powder slowly. Believe in yourself, throw away the milk powder as a backup, and you will definitely succeed! Please learn more about breast milk and believe in the power of mothers! If you use milk powder as a shield, then you have failed another step on the road to milk.

Method 6: Overcome anxiety and then you can start breastfeeding

If your milk does not increase, it does not mean that you have no milk. Do not doubt that you have little milk. Do not lose confidence because your baby sleeps well only after saving your milk and feeding it with milk powder. When others tell you about their experience, they may not be responsible. Mothers should have a strong heart, firm confidence and relax. Perseverance and perseverance are the key to milk production. Master scientific parenting knowledge, do not worry about height, weight, bowel movements, and the baby's poor sleep due to insufficient breast milk, and pay attention to rest. We will definitely walk in the ranks of dairy cows!
