One of the issues that mothers who are still breastfeeding often worry about is how to maintain sufficient milk to feed their babies. This is especially the case for mothers who have premature babies and no milk. The first thing a mother should do if she wants to maintain adequate milk supply is to induce lactation. So, how can a premature mother induce lactation if she has no milk?

1. Let the baby suck early and suck often. The secretion of milk is established through the lactation reflex and milk ejection reflex induced by the baby's sucking stimulation, as well as the simultaneous action of prolactin and oxytocin secreted by the pituitary gland in the mother's body. Therefore, premature mothers should let their babies learn to suck the nipple as early as possible, establish the milk ejection reflex as early as possible, and let the baby suck the nipple more and have more contact with it to promote the production of more milk, which will also help the baby learn to suck breast milk on his own.

2. Share the bed with your baby and feed as needed. Generally speaking, the more frequent sucking, the more milk the premature mother will produce. Therefore, it is recommended that the premature mother and her baby share the same bed and feed according to the baby's needs, which is more conducive to the premature mother's lactation and sufficient milk.

3. Maintain a happy mood. Milk secretion is also closely related to the nerve center. Negative emotions, such as anger, depression, excessive nervousness and waiting, may cause premature mothers to reduce milk secretion. Therefore, premature mothers should always maintain a good mood, not be too nervous about the amount of milk, pay attention to rest, and keep a comfortable mood.
