I want to know if my breasts are making milk normally. Do I have enough milk?

我想知道我的乳房是否能正常产奶?我有足够的奶水吗?

This is a common breastfeeding concern. Many women wonder if their experiences are within the “normal” range. Here are some common concerns:

这是母乳喂养中的常见问题。很多妈妈们都想知道她们的情况是否属于“正常”范围。

以下列举了一些妈妈们经常关心的问题:

My breasts are no longer leaking. Am I not making enough milk?

我的乳房不再溢奶了,这是否意味着我的奶水不够了?

Leaking has no relationship to how much milk a mother is making. Once your milk supply is well established, leaking normally diminishes or ceases. Some mothers experience leaking longer than others.

是否溢奶与妈妈产奶的多少是毫无关系的。一旦母乳分泌达到稳定状态后,溢奶情形一般都会减少或消失。也有些妈妈溢奶的时间要比其他妈妈长些。

When I pump I find that one breast produces more milk than the other. Is something wrong?

用吸奶器吸奶时我发现一只乳房产奶比另一只多,这有问题吗?

Every woman‘‘s breasts are a little different, and since humans are not symmetrical, breasts aren‘‘t either. It is common for one breast to have more milk-producing tissue than the other. In fact, sometimes babies will prefer the more- or the less-productive breast, and this is perfectly normal.

每个妇女的乳房都略有不同。因为人不是完全对称的,乳房也不会完全相同。一只乳房比另一只乳房有更丰富的的产奶组织是很常见的。有时候宝宝更喜欢产奶多或产奶少的那只乳房,这非常的正常。

My breasts no longer feel “full” when it is time for a feeding. Is my milk supply decreasing?

该给宝宝喂奶时,我没有胀奶的感觉,这是不是说明我的产奶量减少了?

When a mother‘‘s milk supply adjusts to her baby‘‘s needs, the feelings of fullness or engorgement she may have felt early on will subside.

当妈妈的产奶量和宝宝的需求调适好后,先前的胀奶或充盈感觉就会消失。

I no longer feel the let-down, or milk-ejection reflex.

我不再有奶阵或感觉不到喷乳反射了。

This may occur as time goes on. Some mothers do not feel a let-down at all, but they can tell by watching their baby‘‘s pattern of suck and swallow when their let-down is occurring.

随着时间的推移,这有可能发生。有些妈妈自始至终都感受不到奶阵,但通过观察宝宝吸吮、吞咽的规律可判断奶阵是否来临。
