Patient's question:
Postpartum for 28 days, I have been taking Cordyceps militaris. On the 29th day, I felt my milk supply wasn't increasing anymore. Previously, if the baby didn't eat for 3 to 4 hours, my milk would increase. After that, it didn't increase anymore. I had a C-section for the second child and am currently breastfeeding. For the first child, I also had a C-section, but I didn't have milk and it didn't increase. Does coffee help with weaning?Doctor's answer:
Women who are breastfeeding may need to reduce milk production due to various physical, psychological, and work-related reasons, which is known as milk regression. There are two methods of milk regression: natural regression and artificial regression. During the normal weaning period, if the effect of natural regression is not significant due to excessive regression, artificial regression can also be used. Avoiding milk regression: The usual diet should consist of foods that promote milk production, such as peanuts, pig trotters, crucian carp, soups, etc.
