Dapɛn a edi kan wɔ wo ba no aba akyi no betumi ayɛ den bere a mo baanu nyinaa reyɛ nsakrae wɔ nufu a moma no mu no. Wo nufu fi awosu mu ma nufusu, nanso nokware, "let-down" a ɛdɔɔso no taa fi ase bɛyɛ nnɔnhwerew 24 wɔ awo akyi. Ɛtaa ba sɛ wobɛte nka sɛ nufu ayɛ no ma kakra wɔ saa nna a edi kan no mu, nanso ebia ɛnanom binom nso haw wɔn ho wɔ nufusu a ɛba fam ho.
😟 Nufusu a Ɛba Fam (Insufficient Supply) .
Ɛnanom pii te nka sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wogyae nufu a wɔma esiane nufu a wɔde ma a ɛba fam ho dadwen nti. Mpɛn pii no eyi fi aduan a wɔntaa mma, nufu a wɔmma no daa , anaasɛ akokoaa no a ontumi mfa ne ho nhyɛ mu yiye. Adwennwen a ɛkɔ soro anaasɛ ɛyɛ den sɛ wobɛhome nso betumi asiw wo nipadua no kwan sɛ ebefi "Let-Down Reflex" no ase.
Dɛn ne "Let-Down Reflex" no?
Eyi ne abɔde mu sɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkanyan nufusu ma ɛsen. Sɛ wo ba no fi ase ma nufu—anaasɛ mpo sɛ wote wɔn, wote wɔn hua, anaasɛ wususuw ho ara kwa a— Pituitary Gland a ɛwɔ w’amemene mu no ma hormone Oxytocin . Saa hormone yi ma ntini nketenkete a atwa wo nufusu ntini ho ahyia no twetwe, na ɛpia nufusu kɔ w’anim. Ebia wobɛte nka sɛ wo nufu mu ayɛ wo yaw anaasɛ wobɛte nka wɔ anifere kwan so wɔ saa bere yi mu. Sɛ saa reflex yi ankɔ yiye a, ebia wo ba no rennya nufusu a ɛdɔɔso, na ɛno betumi ama bere kɔ so no, ne ma no so atew. Ɛtɔ da bi a, saa adeyɛ yi betumi ayɛ brɛoo kakra kɛkɛ sɛ wobefi ase.
Nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ aduan a wɔde ma no sua no bi ne akokoaa a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔma no aduan bere nyinaa, ne nsa a ɔnom nufu, ne dwensɔtwaa a ɛntaa nkɔ, mpaboa a ɛyɛ nsu kakraa bi, anaasɛ ne mu duru nyɛ kɛse.
Nanso, yɛsrɛ sɛ kae: ɛkame ayɛ sɛ bere nyinaa na nufusu bi wɔ wo nufu mu, na mpɛn pii no wo nipadua no tumi yɛ nea wo ba no hia sen sɛnea ebia wubesusuw.
Dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ?

- Ɔhaw a ɛbata ho no betumi ama ayɛ den sɛ obegye w’ahome bere a ɔrema nufu no.
Ɔkwan bɛn so na wɔhwɛ nufu a ayɛ ma no so?
- Ma wo ba no nufu mpɛn pii bere a wɔhwehwɛ no, na hwɛ hu sɛ wɔma nsu fi nufu no mu yiye.
- Fa w’adwene si nufu biako a wobɛda mpan koraa so ansa na wode foforo no ama.
