Does yam reduce milk production and what is the treatment?

Many of our pregnant mothers now have no milk after giving birth. This situation brings great distress to our pregnant mothers and may also affect the normal growth of our children. Many pregnant mothers are trying various methods to induce lactation. Yams are a good way to reduce milk production. Let us now understand whether yam can reduce milk production and how to do it.

1 Don't worry if eating yam will not cause milk production. It is recommended that you drink more crucian carp soup and pig's trotter soup to increase milk production. Do not eat leeks, celery, and spinach to reduce milk production. Pay attention to breast hygiene.

2. (1) Strengthen the baby’s sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because when the baby sucks the nipple, it stimulates the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

(2) Avoid taking medication. During the breastfeeding period, you must remind your wife not to take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as antithyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If your wife is sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

(3) Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. You must fulfill your role as chef well and choose foods with high nutritional value for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of your wife's milk.

(4) Maintain the nurse’s good mood. After giving birth, mothers will experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which will restrict the secretion of breast milk. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, you have an obligation to create a good living environment for your wife and pay attention to her mental health at all times.

I believe that everyone now has a better understanding of whether yam can reduce milk production and how to do it. We should learn the method of reducing milk production to bring health to our pregnant mothers. It can also help our newborns thrive, allowing us mother and child to grow up healthily and happily, and escort the growth of our children.
