Patient's question:
My baby is three and a half months old. Since two months, she has been unwilling to drink formula milk and won't take even a sip, only eating her mother's milk. Why is this happening? What should I do if the mother's milk isn't enough to eat?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, in this case, consuming more poultry, meat, and drinking more soup can help increase milk production. Also, let the baby suckle the nipple more. Pay attention to nutrition, and get good sleep—take naps during the day as well. After each feeding, express the remaining milk to stimulate milk production and ensure the breasts are full. You should eat more warm foods, such as jujubes, crucian carp, longans, peanuts, etc., to keep milk flow smooth.
