Patient's question:
Now I am in the postpartum period, and at night, my milk is very full. During the day, I feel much better. I don't know what the reason is for this, why it gets full at night but not during the day?Doctor's answer:
This reason is due to the fact that the number of feedings during the day is high, and milk discharge is relatively smooth, so there is no feeling of breast fullness. At night, the number of feedings decreases, so there is a feeling of breast fullness. It is recommended to persist in breastfeeding at night, first empty one side, then the other side. During the day, drink more nutritious soups, such as pig trotter soup, rib soup, chicken soup, etc., which can stimulate milk production. At night, try to drink less soup.
