Many women nursing are disturbed by a question: whether there is enough milk for the kid? Also happens that it really is not enough. But this problem is quite solved, the main thing - patience and a positive spirit.
Instruction
1. Before sounding the alarm, it is worth checking whether really the baby lacks milk. There is a simple test. Leave the kid for one day without diapers and attentively track how many times he will pee. If 10-12 times, so everything be all right, and here if only 5-6, then you really were not mistaken. If you have electronic scales for weighing of babies, it is possible to check amount of milk in one more way - to weigh the kid before feeding. Count quantity per day. It has to be 1/5 from the mass of the kid.
2. Hormone prolactin which is formed during sucking of a breast by the kid is responsible for development of milk. It is guarantee of development of milk in the next hours. By the way, most intensively this hormone is produced in an organism of the feeding mom during the period from 3 o'clock in the morning till 8 in the morning. Therefore, night feedings - a guarantee of a good and long lactation. And allocation of milk from a breast depends on other hormone - oxytocin. It is also developed when the baby sucks a breast. Therefore it is better to feed the kid not according to the schedule, and on demand.
3. The day regimen of mom is important for good development of milk. It is clear, that with the kid there are a lot of efforts, but at the same time mom has to get enough sleep.

Zeyttsu: pour over a breast with which fed the kid warm water, massing circular motions from a nipple to the periphery and decanting milk. About massage you should not forget also out of the bathroom. Mass a breast before each feeding.
5. When feeding try that you and the baby were most undressed to reach contact "skin to skin". Relax, have a rest, it is possible to feed the kid lying in a bed.
