Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Methods to Increase Milk Supply
① First and foremost, have the determination to breastfeed your child. After the baby is born, let them suck the nipple frequently to stimulate milk production.
② Typically, there won’t be much milk in the first few days. By the fourth or fifth day, milk production will increase significantly. Therefore, don’t get discouraged if there’s little milk in the beginning.
③ Avoid adding formula milk randomly. During the first week, even if there’s very little breast milk, try not to use formula milk as a supplement. Once the baby starts drinking formula, their sucking ability may weaken, leading to a decrease in breast milk production.
④ Consume a balanced diet rich in nutrients. As a mother, it’s important to eat plenty of protein-rich and nutrient-dense foods. Drink more fish soup, pig trotter soup, millet porridge, bone broth, etc.
⑤ Stay calm and maintain a positive mood. Stress and anxiety can affect milk production.
⑥ Pay attention to rest and sleep, and avoid overexertion.
