Does milk thistle help with lactation or weaning?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old. Three days ago, I started weaning the baby. Fortunately, it was a bit easier than we expected. The baby has now been weaned. Does dandelion milk promote or reduce milk supply?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the information you purchased, the Chinese herbal medicine ginseng is used for anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing purposes, not for lactation or weaning. If you have a low milk supply during breastfeeding, you can drink more fluids or find a lactation specialist to give you a massage to increase milk production, which works well. Always stay in a good mood, get enough deep sleep, and most importantly, let the baby suckle. I hope my explanation helps you, and wish you good health. Thank you!
