Some mothers do not know when milk comes, and panic if it does not appear five minutes after the birth. Especially often such disturbances disturb the primiparous women. But in the female body is not so simple. And while the body has not yet got used to the fact that the child is no longer inside, but is sleeping sweetly in a hotbed next to my mother's bed, only colostrum is allocated from the chest. His scanty amount is enough for a crumb to not starve. So do not drink a variety of teas for lactation or compotes of dried apples.
As a rule, after the birth, milk begins to arrive on the third day, and if you drink a lot of liquid, eat halva and other products and teas for lactation , then the mother will simply not find a place because of the swollen breasts resembling watermelons.
But in any case, after giving birth, it is necessary to express the milk. This will make it possible not only to "unload" the breast, but also to increase the amount of milk in the future. This is an important point, because the baby, being very small, spend most of the day in a dream. He is not able to suck a lot of milk, as a result of which it can burn out or come in smaller quantities. In addition, a sharp rush of milk can lead to mastitis after childbirth.
There are times when a baby does not want to take a breast. In this case, pumping will be very appropriate. After all, mother's milk is much more useful than various infant formulas. Therefore, you can express the milk in a bottle and then feed the baby. In this way of feeding, there are pluses: after a few days after delivery, a sudden arrival of milk can bring not very pleasant sensations, plus the baby has a mechanical effect on the nipples, resulting in cracks.
How to remove milk after childbirth?
Sometimes circumstances develop when a child can not breast-feed. But how to stop lactation, because milk is produced in spite of the woman's desire. There are several ways in which the arrival of milk can be stopped:
- it is necessary to reduce the number of diurnal feedings;
- after each decantation it is necessary to tie up the chest tightly, but it should be done so,
that "swaddling" of breasts does not bring painful sensations; - it is better to limit the diet so that the amount of milk produced decreases.
If lactation stops on their own, then problems with the endocrine system does not arise. Of course, there are special pills that can be taken after birth for several days in a row and they will "free" the woman from milk entering the breast. But before you use these drugs, you should think twice. Because tablets of this nature can disrupt the endocrine system and lead to various female diseases.
