How long does it take for milk to come out after milk is emptied

For breastfeeding mothers, it is necessary to drain the milk from the breasts during the lactation period. The breasts should not have too much milk, otherwise it will cause blockage of milk secretion. It is best to empty the milk to promote milk secretion. Generally, milk will be produced within 24 hours after the milk is drained. Moreover, draining the milk can relieve the nerve pressure on the breast and increase the nutrients in the milk, which helps promote milk discharge.

Breast storage capacity

When it comes to how much milk the breasts can store, this is greatly affected by individual differences. It mainly depends on the development of the mammary ducts in the breasts, which are different for each person. You cannot store a certain amount of milk before feeding it to your baby, as this will make the milk less and less. The amount of milk secretion and milk intake is a balance between supply and demand. The amount of milk depends mainly on whether the baby has enough to eat. If the baby has enough to eat, it's fine. More is useless. Long-term storage of milk may also cause mastitis. Therefore, there is no standard for the amount of milk storage, as long as it can satisfy the child's feeding needs.

If you want to produce milk quickly, you need to empty and suck more.

How long it takes to produce full milk and the amount of milk cannot be calculated by time; it requires the mother to feel it herself. I can only tell all mothers that the more you suck (squeeze), the faster you will produce, and emptying your breasts will help with lactation. The baby should be fed at least 8-12 times every 24 hours. If the baby sucks actively, effectively and happily, mothers should not feel tired and can increase the number of times accordingly. Pay attention to your breastfeeding posture. Incorrect posture will reduce the amount of milk the baby absorbs from the breast. Reduced milk intake will lead to reduced emptying, and reduced emptying will affect the subsequent milk production!

If your baby falls asleep while you are breastfeeding, stop feeding him and remember to express your milk in time. Take good care of yourself and set aside a few days to do as little as possible. Keep a relaxed and happy mood and be an efficient and happy mom!

The more frequently the baby sucks, the faster the milk is produced.

The pituitary gland is the most important endocrine gland involved in lactation and milk ejection. When a baby sucks the nipple for the first time after birth, sucking stimulates the rich sensory nerve endings in the nipple and areola area, transmitting the stimulation impulse to the anterior pituitary gland, causing it to secrete prolactin, stimulating the alveoli to continue secreting milk.

This principle also shows that when the breasts are empty, the baby may still be able to suck milk. The premise is that if the baby continues to suck the nipple, it will stimulate the production of prolactin, and then stimulate milk production, but this process takes a few minutes.

Reminder: Emptying the breasts helps secrete milk

Emptying the breasts helps keep the mammary glands healthy. The amount of milk secretion is directly proportional to the composition of breast tissue, and unobstructed mammary ducts are the basis for secreting more milk. After breastfeeding, emptying the breasts can keep the mammary ducts open at all times, so that milk secretion and discharge will not be obstructed. After the milk is emptied, the pressure in the breast decreases, the local blood supply is good, and the damage to the alveolar cells and muscle cells caused by excessive pressure in the milk duct is avoided, which is beneficial to lactation and milk discharge.
