Previously, there was some breast milk, but not much. Later, because the child had jaundice, I stopped breastfeeding for 8 days. Can taking lactation pills help increase milk supply? If so, what kind of pills are good to take?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you have stopped breastfeeding for eight days, but you should use a breast pump to empty your breasts.
