"Mlekoin" for lactation: will increase or give the opposite effect

How effective is the Mlekoin remedy for lactation, reviews about the features of the drug. Features of its effect on the body and effectiveness for increasing volume breast milk. The opinion of doctors and consultants on breastfeeding on the use of "Mlekoin" by lactating women.

The lack of a sufficient amount of breast milk in a woman becomes a significant problem for her and the child. The solution to the problem depends not only on the application special preparations, which include lactagons, including Mlekoin. According to lactation consultants, they should be used in conjunction with the main "treatment".

Why is the word "treatment" in quotation marks? Because with regard to increasing the production of breast milk, it is incorrect to use it. This condition is not a disease, but rather a response to a number of external factors.

Why is there not enough milk?

According to World Organization health true hypolactation, that is, reduced production of breast milk by physiological reasons, is inherent in no more than one percent of women on the planet. In the vast majority of young mothers, breast milk is produced in a normal, sufficient volume.

The feeling that it is not enough arises for a number of reasons.

  • The baby is often applied to the chest. This is not a symptom of hunger, but the normal desire of the child to feel his mother next to her, to communicate with her.
  • The child "hangs" on the chest for several days. This is how “growth spurts” appear in the development of the baby. During the first six months of life, there are at least three such “jumps”. And at this time, the baby needs more food than on ordinary days.
  • There is no sensation of pronounced tides of milk. Chest fullness due to hot flashes - normal phenomenon during lactation. But during the first month of feeding, lactation becomes mature. That is, the amount of milk comes exactly as the child needs, in the amount that he eats in one feeding. This volume is small, so the mammary glands do not overflow, but regular and sufficient.

According to the breastfeeding experts of the World Organization La Leche League, the best way combating milk deficiency is frequent application baby to the chest. Other means, including lactagons, only support this effect, but their importance should not be exaggerated.

“If taking Mlekoin or another to stimulate lactation helps you gain confidence in the sufficiency of milk, take it,” says Ekaterina Savosina, breastfeeding consultant for the League of Mothers. - There is no need to be afraid of a sudden decrease in the amount of milk. This condition is temporary, it is easily corrected by active breast sucking by the child for two to three days.

Features of the drug

Due to the fact that reduced production of breast milk is not a disease, there are no lactagon remedies among those that would be offered by official medicine. But there are enough homeopathic preparations, which include "Mlekoin" for lactation.

In the first 10 days after childbirth. During the formation of lactation, it helps to normalize the volume of breast milk production.

  • With hypolactation (reduced volume of milk). Helps eliminate lactation deficiency, increase the amount of food for the baby.
  • During periods of lactation crises. Reduces the severity of a critical decrease in the amount of milk in times of crisis.
  • Throughout the term breastfeeding. used as prophylactic from hypolactation.

Additionally renders sedative effect, normalizes sleep.

The composition of the drug "Mlecoin" includes natural ingredients.

  • Pulsatilla pratensis C200 (meadow lumbago). Normalizes venous outflow, eliminates the effects of stress, stimulates lactation.
  • Vitex agnus castus C50 (agnus cactus). Regulates work endocrine system, eliminates the feeling of anxiety, improves the production of breast milk.
  • Urtica urens C200 (stinging nettle). Stimulates the prolongation of the lactation period, improves blood circulation in the mammary glands.

The instructions on how to take Mlekoin indicate the following technique.

  • 5 granules under the tongue until completely resorbed. Take before meals, thirty minutes.
  • Repeat the reception in the morning and evening.

The course of admission is determined individually, but can continue throughout the entire period of lactation. The drug has no contraindications and side effects except for individual allergic reactions.

How Mlecoin works

The drug is a homeopathic remedy. It is produced in the form of white granules with a sweetish taste (sugar is included in the composition). Homeopathic remedies recognized modern medicine safe, because in their composition, except for water, sugar or ethanol (depending on the type of drug) there is nothing else.

What does the dosage of C50 or C200 mean, which is indicated for the active substances of Mlekoin? She says that the active substance was repeatedly diluted with water. For example, for "drugs" with index C12, one part active ingredient was diluted in a volume of water equal to 1024. If we talk about the dosage of C40, we are talking about the presence of one molecule of the active substance in the volume of the agent that occupies the entire Universe. The dosage of C200 is even more negligible. She says that one molecule of the active substance is contained in 10320 Universes.

The possibility of a more accurate calculation in relation to the dosage of homeopathic remedies is not possible. But these data are enough to draw the main conclusion about their application.

The chance that one dose of a homeopathic preparation (granule) contains at least one molecule of the active substance is negligible. It does not include anything other than related substances: water, sugar, ethanol.

The World Health Organization warns of the dangers of treating infectious and other serious illnesses homeopathy. The risk is not that the drug itself can cause harm, no. It won't do any harm. But it will not bring benefits, a positive effect that could be achieved by the timely use of medicines.

You can use Mlekoin to increase lactation. It provides several effects.

  • Calm. The woman is sure that she is taking medicine to increase lactation, which is why she is calm. Normalization psychological state lactating mother has a positive effect on the process of breastfeeding, which, ultimately, allows you to achieve normal milk production.
  • Placebo effect. Repeatedly described in the medical literature as the body's response to a person's persistent faith in the positive effects of the drug. Recovery comes as a result of a great desire to recover, mobilization of internal resources. And taking pills "pacifiers" according to a certain scheme, purchased in the pharmacy network, increases positive impact.
  • Complex of funds. Using other techniques for increasing lactation in combination with Mlekoin, you can quickly, within two to three days, achieve the expected result. A nursing woman needs to fully rest, not be nervous, put her baby to her breast more often, drink plenty of fluids, and warm drinks a few minutes before feeding.

With this approach to increasing breast milk production, the effect will be obvious. It will become the body's natural response to favorable external factors normalizing lactation.

Rely solely on magic pills» during breastfeeding is impossible. And we are talking not only about "Mlekoin", which provides a psychological effect, but also about other means that increase lactation. Breastfeeding can be compared to a responsible job as a mom, but the job can and should be enjoyable. After all, the main “tool of labor” in it is not pills at all, but frequent communication with the baby and regular application of it to the chest.

Positive reviews

Many nursing mothers have experienced the positive effects of the drug.

Anna, Moscow:

“I didn’t take a homeopathic remedy all the time, but I applied several times. Mlekoin helped at the beginning of feeding, as there was not enough milk. Then lactation improved, it was re-used when the child grew up and it was necessary to increase the amount of feeding. To speed up the flow of milk, I combined Mlekoin with herbal tea Lactophytol. Milk increased within a week. I liked Mlekoin for its efficiency and economy: 1 package is enough for 3 weeks.”

Oksana, Taganrog:

“The problem with milk arose because of a cold. The temperature rose, all the forces were spent on fighting the disease, the milk disappeared. Started taking Mlecoin. 3 days I drank according to the scheme indicated in the recommendation, in the morning and in the evening. But there was no milk. Only increasing the dose of the drug helped. Of course, I was afraid: it was not the doctor who recommended increasing, but the advice of other mothers. I decided to listen and have no regrets. I started taking 5 times 5 peas. Every next day, the number of doses was reduced by 1 time, on the 4th day she returned to the morning and evening reception. So she continued to drink further, adding also special teas for lactation. It helped me, there was a lot of milk, my son ate, slept well, did not act up.

Julia, Noginsk:

“I read a lot about homeopathy and about Mlecoin when I started taking it. Many say that milk does not come from him, that Mlekoin is a placebo, and here is pure psychology. Yeah, I don't care how it works. Maybe it's true that the granules helped me calm down that everything will be fine with the milk, and it appeared after that. But a fact is a fact: I really stopped being nervous, and everything was fine with milk!

Negative Feedback

Olesya, Nizhny Novgorod:

“I bought the drug on the advice of a gynecologist, I took 5 granules 2 times a day. No result. I increased the intake to 3 times a day, but there was no more milk. The sweetish granules tasted good, but I never waited for more milk to come. Maybe, stressful situation(on the eve of the divorce) was too large and was beyond the power of small peas.

Inga, Vladimir

“When feeding the first child, there were problems with lactation crises. Usually they passed for me in 4 days. I gave birth to a second one, I wanted to avoid problems. I bought Mlekoin on the advice of my friends. Maybe because I don't believe in homeopathy and was skeptical, but he didn't help me. The same crisis, the same 4 days, then the milk arrives, it becomes enough. Maybe this is normal, but I wanted to shorten this period.

I also had doubts about how it would affect the baby. I carefully read the entire instructions to understand what these peas are made of. It is a pity that there are no familiar drug names in it. For me, this Urtika, even in Russian, even in Latin, is incomprehensible. I had to google to find out that this is a common nettle. And the same goes for other plants.

For objectivity, I must note: although I did not see a positive effect (maybe I should have taken it without waiting for a crisis?), But also no backlash The baby didn't."

Many mothers note the packaging of the drug as a drawback. An open bag with any careless movement leads to a rash of peas. Have to think ahead reliable way storage.
