Patient's question:
I have always breastfed my baby, but the milk never seems to be enough to satisfy him once. Everyone says drinking soup can increase milk supply, but I really dislike drinking soup. Drinking so much soup every day makes me tired of it. Drinking soup increases milk, but not drinking it means my baby doesn't get enough to eat. Besides soup, is there a better way to boost my milk supply?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the baby arrives, it should be encouraged to suckle the mother's nipple as soon as possible, because the baby's sucking reflex is the strongest, which is more beneficial for milk production. Many mothers, due to exhaustion after childbirth, neglect to allow their baby to suckle, resulting in insufficient milk supply. Therefore, it is best to encourage the baby to suckle the mother's nipple as soon as possible after birth. Thank you.
