Patient's question:
It has been a week since I gave birth, but my milk supply has been very low. I drink a lot of water every day, but my milk production hasn't increased. What should I do about low milk supply one week postpartum?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, generally speaking, breast milk is related to the baby's sucking intensity and the mother's diet during breastfeeding. In your case, during the postpartum period, it is important to strengthen nutrition, drink more chicken soup, fish soup, and millet jujube porridge, which are all beneficial for increasing milk supply. You can also use loofah to stew chicken, which is a great galactagogue. Only when the mother eats and drinks more will the milk volume be sufficient. Thank you.
