Patient's question:
One week postpartum, how many people have low milk supply, and the baby hasn't latched on, even with a breast pump? I gave birth to a 4.3-pound (1.95 kg) baby girl at 36 weeks of prematurity. She's currently in an incubator, and the baby hasn't latched on. The doctor said to use a breast pump to extract milk and send it to her, but the milk supply is insufficient. How can I quickly increase milk production and stimulate lactation?Doctor's answer:
36 weeks premature, one week postpartum. Low milk supply. Currently, the baby is not directly latching on the nipple but using a breast pump to extract milk. To ensure sufficient milk supply and quick milk production, it is essential to maintain adequate deep sleep and a consistently positive mood. Eat more soup-based foods to enhance nutrition, such as chicken soup, fish soup, lean meat soup, millet porridge, etc. The mood must be good, and deep sleep must be sufficient.
