How often do milk oozes occur? Will they always occur?

When milk comes, the amount of milk produced will increase greatly, which will make the baby eat faster and feel fuller. So how often does milk come? Will milk come all the time? Under what circumstances will milk come be suppressed? What should you pay attention to when milk comes?

This is not certain. It depends on the baby's breastfeeding situation. Generally, there will be a milk burst every 2-3 hours, which is relatively normal. It is mainly related to the baby's breastfeeding habits and the amount of milk secretion. The duration is also different. If the baby is breastfeeding, the milk burst will disappear quickly, and if the baby is not breastfeeding, it will last about 2 minutes.

If you master the method, the milk array will always be there.

1. Most mothers can clearly feel their milk letdown, especially the first milk letdown during each feeding, which is the most obvious, lasts the longest, and produces the most milk. Small and firm breasts are more likely to feel the milk letdown than large and soft breasts. Every mother feels differently.

2. Milk letdown is when a woman feels her breasts swell up a little and feel a slight pain during breastfeeding, followed by milk gushing out in a jet or dripping pattern. It is common for milk letdown to occur before the baby feeds or after the baby sucks for a few minutes. When milk letdown comes, the milk will be full, even if the milk has been sucked out and there is not much left, it will suddenly become more, and the breasts will feel harder than before.

1. Fear. If the mother's nipples are damaged, when the baby is placed near the breast, the mother will foresee the coming pain and become nervous or even fearful, thus delaying or inhibiting the milk letdown.

2. Pain. If the baby does not latch on sufficiently, the mother will feel the pain of the nipple being clamped throughout the breastfeeding process. Enduring the pain will not make breastfeeding smoother, but will delay or inhibit the occurrence of milk letdown due to the pain.

3. Embarrassment. When breastfeeding, mothers need to choose a more comfortable and private environment. If they are always surrounded by others, pointed at and criticized, and feel embarrassed, it will make it difficult for milk letdown to occur.

4. Anxiety. If a mother is already worried about her lack of milk, she is likely to constantly question whether she can do it during the entire breastfeeding process. Excessive anxiety has been proven to delay or inhibit the onset of milk letdown.

5. Cold. Cold can also affect milk letdown, so avoid applying cold compresses to nipples and breasts before breastfeeding.

6. Breast hardening. When the breasts are too full, milk flow will also be affected. Avoid always waiting until the breasts are particularly hard before breastfeeding or expressing milk. This will cause the milk supply to continue to decrease.

1. If the baby is sucking when the milk comes, the mother should prevent the baby from choking due to the rush of milk. At this time, the mother can pinch the upper and lower areola with the index finger and middle finger to slow down the flow rate and prevent the baby from choking.

2. If the baby spits out the nipple during milk flow, or the baby is not around when the mother is at work, the milk will continue to flow out of the breast and wet the clothes. At this time, press the nipple for a while with your hand to stop the milk from continuing to flow out.

3. The method of stimulating milk flow varies from person to person. The above methods are for reference of all mothers. I would like to remind all mothers to try to relax when stimulating milk flow and not to put too much pressure on themselves. The more anxious you are and the greater the pressure, the more difficult it will be to induce milk flow.
