Patient's question:
I've had my baby for half a month, and I often get engorged, and quite frequently too. How often is breast milk usually produced?Doctor's answer:
Nursing generally occurs around 2 to 4 hours after feeding. If there is frequent engorgement during the postpartum period, it indicates that milk production is relatively high. Breastfeeding on demand after delivery is sufficient. If the baby has a good appetite, they are usually fed every 2 to 4 hours. Any milk left uneaten can be expressed using a breast pump. Otherwise, it may lead to milk supply reduction or mastitis. Slender mothers may have insufficient milk production, and engorgement may also be less frequent.
