During conversations with friends, they often tell us that they had a lot of milk when they had their first child, but since having their second child, they have had very little milk and the baby cannot eat enough. Why is it like this? So why is there not enough milk for having a second child? Next, let's take a look.
There are many reasons that can cause a mother to have insufficient breast milk. If a mother of a second child has insufficient breast milk, it is mostly due to insufficient rest. The pace of life for a mother with two children is relatively fast, as she has to work and take care of both the baby and the older child. So it is often said that insufficient sleep can lead to a decrease in prolactin secretion from the posterior pituitary gland, resulting in a decrease in milk secretion from the breasts. To improve this, mothers of second children should rest early. Allocate some household chores to family members appropriately, and also strengthen one's own nutrition.
If the mother of a second child has insufficient milk, early intervention is necessary. Mothers can increase milk production by consuming foods that produce milk. For example, you can drink egg and mash soup every day, which has a good lactation effect. Moreover, soups like lamb soup, beef soup, chicken soup, and pork rib soup all have good lactation effects and are relatively nutritious. Mothers with economic conditions can also hire lactation consultants to help promote milk flow and blood circulation, resulting in smoother milk ducts and increased milk secretion.
