After taking maternity leave and returning to work, some new mothers find that their breast milk is getting less and less and feel that they cannot keep up with the needs of their babies. What should they do?

First of all, in the face of this situation, don’t worry.

The return of new mothers to work is a great test for both body and spirit. Lack of rest and anxiety will affect milk secretion, resulting in less and less breast milk. If anxiety is caused by less breast milk secretion, a vicious circle will be formed.

Second, it is necessary to plan the milking time every day, milking regularly, and then seize all the opportunities that can be kissed and fed. If conditions permit, you can take advantage of noon kissing and feeding your baby. Interaction with your baby more can help your mother relieve her mood and help her lactation.

Third, it is to pay attention to nutrition. There is no need to drink lactagogue soup and other things. Drink more water, light soup and eat more meat, eggs and milk supplements.
