First: add milk powder or complementary food early, mother's milk volume and baby sucking stimulation. Since the baby has eaten other food and does not feel hungry, it will automatically reduce the time of sucking. In this way, the milk will automatically adjust to reduce the production.

Second: feeding time is too short, feeding to the baby to adapt to the needs of the baby. Some mothers limit the number of feeding times, or each feeding time is too short, will cause the reduction of milk production. In fact, there is no need to have a fixed schedule for breastfeeding.

Sometimes the baby's mouth away from the mother's nipple, may just want to rest, breath, or curiosity to observe the surrounding environment.
