Two days ago, Ms. Gu, a new treasure mother, came to ask us: "My milk looks very weak. Is this milk nutritious? " Can you meet the baby's needs? ".In fact, this is a problem that many mothers will encounter. When breast-feeding, many mothers will find that their milk is weak and it seems that there is not enough nutrition, so they give up breast-feeding and switch to formula milk. But is this really desirable? Is light milk not nutritious enough to feed the baby? Mommy, America is going to talk about whether light milk is not nutritious today.

Is breast milk nutritious enough? Some mothers think that "weak milk = no nutrition". In fact, this idea is not correct. A lot of milk with light surface is actually the same as thick milk, but some ingredients are different. Thin milk is mainly due to the lack of protein and fat particles in mature milk, so even relatively thin and clear breast milk contains essential nutrients for the baby, which is not considered malnutrition. Moreover, compared with milk and formula milk, milk has incomparable nutrients, matching ratio and disease resistance factors.

Causes of weak milk

Breast milk is the juice produced by postpartum women's breasts for feeding babies. It contains carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and taurine, which is very important for the baby's brain development. At the same time, breast milk can be divided into forepart milk and afterpart milk: forepart milk: the first milk produced during breastfeeding, that is, the milk that comes out in the first two or three minutes. Its water content is high, and it can provide rich water, protein, lactose, vitamins, inorganic salts and water, as well as immunoglobulin for babies.

Back milk: It contains more fat and is whiter than the front milk. Can provide a lot of calories for the baby and help all aspects of growth.

The milk secreted at postpartum 1-2 weeks is light in appearance and really looks like water. This kind of colostrum contains less fat and more protein, and the trace elements zinc and immune substances are also more than the milk secreted in the later period. Therefore, seemingly light milk is actually very precious to newborns, which is conducive to enhancing the baby's digestion and absorption ability.

At the same time, the milk secreted each time is not the same. At first, some milk was relatively low in fat, high in protein and not dark in color. The milk at the back will be thicker because of its high fat content. Therefore, light milk is the "early milk" secreted by mother.

How to increase lactation?

Although milk is light and nutritious, most mothers want more and thicker milk, so lactating mothers can try the following methods.

1 to ensure a reasonable diet.

Adequate nutrition is the basis of milk production. Diet should be reasonably adjusted, including fish, meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits and so on. Avoid greasy or salty food, drink more soup and avoid alcohol and tobacco.

2. Pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep time.

Breastfeeding mothers should ensure adequate sleep. Especially at night, you should get enough sleep to ensure adequate prolactin secretion.

Step 3 keep a good mood

If Ma Bao is depressed, is in a bad mood during lactation, or is stimulated by some spirits, it may lead to breast deficiency for a period of time. This is because emotions can inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary endocrine system through the cerebral cortex, thus affecting hormones such as prolactin. Therefore, treasure moms remember to keep a good mood.

4, let the baby suck more.

Milk secretion is the result of mother's prolactin and lactation reflex. Because of the baby's sucking stimulation, the milk begins to secrete. The more times you suck, the more milk you produce.
