Today, a friend called me and asked, the secretion of milk will be reduced by half, which is really anxious. Ask about the reasons that affect milk secretion? Probably start from the following five aspects.

　　 1. The maternal (nursing mother) should have sufficient nutrition. 50%-60% of the food taken by the maternal (nursing mother) for one day is converted into milk. If the diet is insufficient, especially the lack of protein, it will reduce the amount of milk and reduce the nutritional content.

　　 Second, the parturient should have a pleasant mood and adequate sleep. Fright, anger, anxiety, fatigue, and suspense can all reduce milk secretion. Insufficient sleep, too tired will also reduce milk secretion. Nursing will cause indigestion after eating breast milk in this condition.

　　 Third, the parturient should have the correct nursing method. Generally let the baby suck on one side of the breast for 5-10 minutes, and then feed the other side after the breast on one side is sucked out. For infants with a younger month or lower body weight, try to let him eat enough and then sleep only a few mouthfuls at a time, which is not conducive to emptying the breast milk, and will make the milk less and less.

　　 Fourth, the parturient should give milk early, which is conducive to milk secretion.

　　 Fifth, the mother should not take contraceptive pills within 4 months after delivery, because it can affect the lotion.
