Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two months old now. Previously, she was always nursing a lot, and accidentally consumed something that caused her to wean. These past few days, it's been over 10 hours before she gets a bit engorged. Drinking nursing soup hasn't helped at all. What can I do? Are there any Chinese herbal medicines that can help with lactation?Doctor's answer:
There are many ways to enhance milk production. First, the mother's spirit should be cheerful and she should not overexert herself. Rest is important, and she should also drink more soups like pork rib soup, pig trotter soup, chicken soup, etc. She can also consume "milk-enhancing" supplements like "Lushu Granules" or take herbal decoctions or acupuncture to continuously increase milk production. It is also essential for the child to suckle more to stimulate milk flow. It is recommended to pay attention to one's emotions, avoid getting angry or overly excited, and rest more. Drinking plenty of nourishing soups will help.
