Patient's question:
Why does my physical condition get so bad during breastfeeding? I feel like I'm completely crumbling, and I've even been tested for rheumatoid arthritis, experiencing joint pain all over my body. I don't know how breast milk is formed, and is the amount of breast milk the baby consumes the same as formula milk?Doctor's answer:
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. Making leftover breast milk into breast milk wine is both nutritious and delicious. During lactation, it's important to maintain a positive mindset, drink plenty of water, rice soup, chicken soup, bone broth, and crucian carp soup, and eat more fatty foods like pig trotters. If dietary measures are not effective, you can seek professional help from a lactation consultant to boost milk production.
