Mothers Milk Tea

How to increase breast milk production naturally without using drugs.

Just after the birth of their baby and the first days or weeks, many mothers are concerned about not having enough milk. But what most women do not know is that the probability that a woman is physically unable to produce enough milk for her baby is really low. But we wonder why so many women are there who believe or fear of not producing enough breast milk?
In our society, we have lost the art of breastfeeding. Many mothers have grown up in families where they are the first women in generations to breastfeed. These mothers do not seek a model, so they do the best they can with the information and support available to them. Now the real problem I see is that because we live in a culture with food preparations, the information they receive may be inaccurate and the support they may be insufficient, which can deter their efforts to breastfeed.

More importantly, is the exposure to advertising women are subject to the formula. We need only look at the message that we receive from hospitals. The first thing that women receive once they leave the hospital, is the free form, which brings bad message to young mothers, lowering confidence in the ability of mothers to breastfeed. They told them that if they want to breastfeed their babies, they must ensure that the baby is getting enough milk to sustain its growth. Of course, they also encourage women to not feel bad if they have to complete the meal with a formula. This, to automatically send a message to new mothers, as if their breasts could or could not grow enough milk. So instantly, a concern has been created in the minds of women, their ability to produce enough milk. They are also told not just after a few days of birth, they must take the baby to see a pediatrician.

In my many years as a breastfeeding consultant, I tired of hearing pediatricians tell mothers that the baby does not receive enough weight and they must complete the form. Of course, for many women in this audience of a pediatrician, is ... You must do what he says or else .... But what doctors do not tell the mother that it is quite normal for children to weight loss in the first days of his life. In addition, they do not encourage them to try alternative methods first, such as other, herbal medicine and nutrition. Doctors in the old days (my grandmother to tell me that) would say to women, simply put the baby in the womb permanently demand. The more the better, they also focused on the food they eat and encourage them to eat more than others, like chicken soup, stewed lentils, herbs, even my grandmother has always said. More importantly, making sure the mother drinks a lot of fresh water each day.

Milk production is dynamic. It follows the law of supply and demand. The more frequently and effectively to a breastfed baby, the more milk the mother's breasts produce. Sometimes for new moms, do not understand their child's behavior can lead mothers to think they have enough milk, even if they actually do.

Before or after the birth of a baby, breastfeeding consultants and La Leche League Leaders can help mothers dramatically. They can help mothers learn about positioning and latch so that the baby can actually get some milk, how to tell a baby is getting enough milk, and ways to increase the supply of milk if necessary. They can also refer mothers to health care providers to determine if there are physiological causes of milk supply low maternal (eg, hormonal imbalance, retained placenta, previous breast surgery) or in relation to other child (eg, tongue-tie, low muscle tone, respiratory problems)-many of which are curable.
