Patient's question:
I am 22 years old, a female. My baby has been more than seven or eight days old, but the milk production is still not much. My mother-in-law said that she stopped producing milk after three days. Seeing the baby only drink formula milk every day, my heart aches. How can I quickly increase milk production after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, you can use the following methods to help with milk production:1. Pay attention to eating more high-protein, high-vitamin, and high-fat soups after delivery, such as chicken soup, fish soup, and pork rib soup.
2. The earlier you start breastfeeding after delivery, the faster milk production will be. Let the baby suckle more, which can effectively stimulate the release of prolactin.
3. Ensure sufficient deep sleep, as adequate rest allows the breasts to produce more milk.
I hope my explanation helps you!
