How to stimulate milk production after a normal birth

Patient's question:

Why is there still no milk three days after a normal delivery? Is it normal? Can I drink fish soup after giving birth? Why is fish soup not recommended?

Doctor's answer:

To start lactation as early as possible, the baby should be stimulated frequently on the first day after birth, even if there is no milk. This helps keep the milk ducts open, and usually milk will come in by the second day. In addition to frequent and early stimulation, it's important for the mother to build confidence in breastfeeding her baby. If she believes she can breastfeed, her body will naturally produce milk. Maintaining a joyful and relaxed mood is also crucial, as stress or low spirits can affect milk production.
