Patient's question:
I am 23 years old. My child was born prematurely. After a natural birth, the child was placed in an incubator. I have been using a breast pump to express milk, pumping every three hours, and not pumping at night. It has been over ten days now, and the child is still in the hospital. I have noticed that my milk supply is getting less and less.Doctor's answer:
In such a case, you can use a breast pump to extract milk from your breasts while actively using foods and medications that promote milk production. This will help continuously increase your milk supply. I recommend using pig trotters, poria, astragalus, and rutaecarpa to make a soup to drink. Consume both the soup and the meat to quickly enhance milk production. Pay attention to your mood, as a positive and cheerful mindset can also boost milk secretion. Wishing you good health!
