How to boost milk production after three days of breastfeeding due to jaundice

During the process of the newborn stopping breastfeeding due to jaundice, the mother can squeeze out the breasts by hand to continue to produce milk. If the newborn stops breastfeeding for 3 days due to jaundice, the mother's milk supply may decrease. If you want to quickly increase the milk supply, you can improve it by adjusting the diet, increasing sucking stimulation, etc.

1. Adjust diet: The mother can eat foods suitable for milk production, such as crucian carp soup, pig's trotter soup, etc. At the same time, supplement with high-quality protein and fat, drink more water, which can help promote milk production, so that the mother's milk supply will increase;

2. Sucking stimulation: Frequent and vigorous sucking by newborns can promote breast milk secretion. When newborns suck the nipple, the mother's pituitary gland can be stimulated to secrete oxytocin and prolactin, and the secretion of milk will increase. Mothers need to feed newborns regularly to increase milk production through sucking reflex. For newborns who have stopped using milk powder, they may refuse breast milk, which will reduce the amount of milk. At this time, you need to do your best to feed breast milk and do not easily switch to milk powder feeding;

3. Other aspects: The mother also needs to get enough rest. She can apply hot towels to her breasts and massage them to ensure the patency of the milk ducts and promote milk secretion.

If you follow the above method and persist, the milk supply will increase. When weaning, the mother should pay attention to the sucking posture. If the posture is incorrect, it may cause pain in the mother's waist and legs, or the fetus can only suck milk but not suck effectively. When breastfeeding, the mother should also observe the number of bowel movements, weight, and whether the newborn can sleep well between two feedings to judge whether the newborn's growth is normal.
