Patient's question:
At home, there's an older sister who gave birth to two babies but doesn't have milk, and they are born one after the other, neither of them has milk. It's said that her previous generations didn't have milk either. What's going on with this?Doctor's answer:
If you are breastfeeding, there are many reasons why milk supply may be insufficient. It is important to identify the cause before making reasonable adjustments. Not practicing early sucking and early skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby. The mother's nipple inversion makes it difficult for the child to suck the nipple, incorrect latching position, and not practicing demand feeding. The mother's qi and blood deficiency, fatigue, and mental tension can all affect milk production. It is recommended to continue demand feeding and increase feeding frequency, massage the breasts, apply heat, and ensure the mother gets adequate nutrition.
