Patient's question:
During the postpartum period, the milk supply was very low, and both mother and daughter suffered every day. In the first two days after coming back from the hospital, the pain from engorged breasts made it impossible to sleep, but the baby didn't suck much at the time. Later, when the baby started sucking more, the milk supply didn't increase.Doctor's answer:
It depends on what kind of ginseng it is. Generally, ginseng is quite warming. You are currently breastfeeding. It is not suitable to consume it. It depends on why you do not have enough milk. If it is due to insufficient qi and blood, you can choose the gentle astragalus to replenish qi. You can boil some astragalus, roxburghia, and jujubes. If there are other forms of milk deficiency, special examinations are required. Symptomatic treatment suggests paying more attention to rest during breastfeeding and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
