How to ensure sufficient breast milk
Early milk production after childbirth should begin within half an hour after delivery, with skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby, and implementing early sucking. Early sucking can promote the secretion of colostrum. The mother and baby should stay in the same room for 24 hours and feed on demand (feed whenever needed, with no restrictions on the number of feedings or timing). This is the main condition to ensure milk secretion, as the breast is a supply and demand organ; the more it is sucked, the more milk is produced, and it is secreted while sucking. Therefore, early and frequent sucking can increase the amount of milk produced, and night feedings must be maintained. No food or drink should be given before milk production starts, and the use of bottles and rubber nipples should be eliminated, as rubber nipples can create a false sense of nipple and affect breastfeeding.

Early initiation of breastfeeding after childbirth, with skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby within half an hour after delivery, promotes the secretion of colostrum.
Mother and baby should stay together for 24 hours, feeding on demand (feed whenever needed, with no restrictions on the number of feedings or timing). This is the main condition to ensure milk secretion, as the breast is a supply-demand organ; the more it is sucked, the more milk is produced, and it is secreted while sucking. Therefore, early and frequent sucking can increase milk secretion, and nighttime breastfeeding must be maintained.
Do not feed any food or drinks before initiating breastfeeding, and eliminate the use of bottles and rubber nipples, as rubber nipples can create a false sense of sucking and affect breastfeeding.
Establish confidence in breastfeeding, insist on exclusive breastfeeding for 4-6 months, and prohibit introducing cow's milk or other milk substitutes too early to avoid reducing sucking frequency and affecting milk secretion.
Help mothers to establish the correct breastfeeding position for the baby to ensure effective breastfeeding.
Proper nutrition, rest, and a positive mental state are closely related to the amount of milk produced. It is also important to establish a supportive environment for breastfeeding from society, family, friends, neighbors, and healthcare professionals.
