How to control the flow rate of breast milk

Patient's question:

Recently, I have too much milk. I want to know how to adjust the flow rate of the dragon's breast milk to be better? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If breastfeeding is an option, it is recommended that mothers first practice breastfeeding while also learning some knowledge about breastfeeding to better breastfeed. Generally, the baby should be given the first milk as soon as possible after birth, preferably within one hour, and then continue feeding when the baby is hungry. Remember not to wait until the baby is too hungry to eat, otherwise it is very easy to cause overeating. To avoid the milk flowing too quickly, the mother should first find a comfortable position to lie or sit, and then hold the baby in her arms with the baby facing her. A pillow can be placed under the baby to make it more comfortable to drink milk. It should be noted that the baby should fully control the nipple. If there is a lot of milk, the mother can hold her breast and control the flow of milk to avoid the baby drinking too quickly.
