Patient's question:
Since the baby was born, the milk has been very good. Basically, the baby only eats one at a time and is full. Moreover, the breasts have always been soft, and the baby eats two at a meal. It feels like the milk has decreased.Doctor's answer:
Observe the baby's latch and feeding situation. Feed from both sides each time, for about seven to eight minutes on each side. The more the milk is emptied, the more it stimulates the breasts to produce milk. Continuously letting the baby suck or using a breast pump to empty the milk will lead to more milk production over time, gradually balancing things out. Breastfeeding is like one person eating to provide nutrition for both the mother and the baby, so the mother should pay attention to choosing nutrient-rich foods to support milk production. Therefore, it is recommended to consume more brown sugar water, eggs, fish soup, pork rib soup, soy milk, fresh fruits, and vegetables to ensure an adequate supply of milk production materials.
