Patient's question:
Excess milk, the milk expressed from the breast that the mom wants to drink herself during lactation, can adults drink expressed breast milk?Doctor's answer:
If there is excess milk, you can drink it yourself. Drinking it won't make it come back, of course. This milk is for adults and can be consumed just like cow's milk. You can drink it directly after expressing it. Adults can drink breast milk, as it is rich in nutrients and can be consumed by adults. After expressing it into a clean cup, please do not leave it for too long. You can apply local heat or massage your breasts, drink bone broth or rib soup, etc., to promote milk production.
