Patient's question:
Recently, my milk supply has been increasing a lot. After pumping, it starts to overflow within less than two hours. Also, when the baby feeds, they seem to struggle with choking. I need to use a pump to remove some milk before feeding the baby. My clothes are always wet and damp. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, breast milk is the juice produced by a woman's breasts after childbirth, used to nourish infants. It contains all the nutrients and antibodies needed for a baby's growth, such as lactoferrin, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and taurine. Breastfeeding has many benefits, benefiting both the baby and the mother. You can make leftover breast milk into breast milk wine, which is nutritious and delicious. During lactation, it's important to maintain a positive mindset and drink plenty of water, rice soup, chicken soup, bone broth, and crucian carp soup. Eat more fatty foods like pig trotters. If dietary measures don't work, you can consult a professional lactation consultant for milk-boosting advice.
