Is it better for breast milk to be light or thick?

Patient's question:

Last month I just gave birth to a child, but recently when I breastfeed my child, I found that the milk is particularly thin. I feel like there isn't much nutrition in it and I'm afraid it will affect the child's growth. How can I make the thin milk thicker?

Doctor's answer:

Breast milk is better when it's thick. To make thin milk thicker, you can drink more bone broth, crucian carp soup, or chicken soup. The milk being thin is mainly due to insufficient nutrient intake and a lack of protein in the body. Pay attention to a balanced diet in your daily meals, and you can also take some nutritional supplements appropriately to help your body recover and make the milk thicker.
