FACTORS AFFECTING THE MILK SUPPLY
Breastfeeding after Cesarean Birth
Many mothers who have had cesarean births have gone on to have plentiful milk supplies.
Feed the Baby Frequently
Before the mature milk comes in, some babies will nurse quite voraciously because they are hungry. The first month is a learning time for a new baby to gets the milk supply, he wants will ensure the greatest possible milk supply and this make mother must spending concentrated time snuggling and nursing her baby. Milk supply is also influenced by how effectively the breast is emptied. If her baby is having trouble latching, to insure her milk supply she must see a lactation professional.
When her milk supply is low, increasing the frequency of her feedings will help build her supply to the level that her baby needs. When breastfeeding, mothers should seek to maintain a healthy nutrition intake, with a healthy fluid intake.
Eating, Drinking, and Sleeping Well
To have enough energy for nursing and baby care, mother needs nutritious meals, sufficient fluids, and a lot of sleep. Some mothers have found that drinking excessive amounts of citrus juice can cause fussiness in their babies. If the baby sleeps, she must sleeps too and if the baby wakes, she will, too, and she can tries to nap again later to increasing milk supply.
The Low Milk Supply Balancing Act
The needs of her baby, her family, and herself must be carefully juggled many times a day to increasing milk supply.
Supplementary Feeding
Another factor contributing to reduced milk outputs in many countries is that better nourished mothers are tempted to start supplementary feeding at too early a stage. It is bound to vary with the specific physiological, sociological, and economic circumstances of each mother-baby pair.
Pregnancy
Some tribes in Africa firmly believe that the child in the womb will poison the baby being breastfed. This factor affecting the decreasing of milk supply if mother believe about that and afraid to nursing her baby.
Social Pressures
Breastfeeding may be the biological norm, but in our society there are still people who are not comfortable being around a breastfeeding mother and baby, and these people may be even more likely to be critical if there are any questions about mother’s milk supply.
If, however, the social attitude is that breastfeeding is rather distasteful, a not uncommon attitude in some communities in the industrialized world, there will be a low prevalence of breastfeeding.
Milk ejection is also an important variable in human lactation, especially under the particularly stressful social circumstances that can prevail in industrialized countries.
If the baby has difficulty sucking or latching on when he finally does get to breastfeeding, seek help from a lactation specialist sooner rather than later.
