In addition, within a year or several years of GV, lactation crises often occur which can lead to complete cessation of feeding if the young mother does not know how to behave. The most quiet and joyful time for a nursing mother is the period of mature lactation, the onset of which every woman expects with great impatience.
When is mature lactation established?
The period of mature lactation occurs when the breast is always soft, and there are almost no strong tides of milk, except for cases when too much time has passed since the previous feeding. As a rule, this happens 1-3 months after the birth, but it can happen a little later, because all the organisms are individual.
Some young mothers can not understand what is happening to them, because their sensations quite sharply change to the opposite. Until that time, the woman's breast was almost always heavy and full of milk, besides, she regularly felt hot. Now, the mammary glands become constantly soft, and some girls start to think that they are losing milk.
In fact, this is far from the case. On the contrary, the breast of a nursing mother starts working and adapts to the needs of the baby.
In rare cases, when a woman artificially regulates the amount of milk in various ways, mature lactation may not occur at all. This can adversely affect the composition and immune properties of the mother's milk, as a result of which it does not provide all the necessary needs of the crumbs and does not protect it from diseases.
