Patient's question:
But the baby won't suck the nipple and doesn't want to either. Let my husband help suck it. It's okay to express it after the milk has increased, right? Can my husband's sucking also promote milk production? Why not use a breast pump?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, of course it is possible. There are many reasons why milk production is low with a breast pump. The body may be weak, with some deficiency of qi and blood. You can eat some blood-nourishing foods like red dates, longans, peanuts, red beans, brown sugar, ginkgo nuts, and goji berries. Let the baby suck more to stimulate the secretion of prolactin. 3. Pay attention to rest. 4. Pay attention to your diet and do not ignore foods that can cause weaning, such as Sichuan pepper, big cardamom, chives, and malt.
