Patient's question:
I am 22 years old and currently breastfeeding. Sometimes I feel that the milk isn't finished by the baby when I feed them. Should I empty the milk after feeding?Doctor's answer:
Whether to empty the breasts depends on the child's situation. If milk production is low, a breast pump can be used to help empty the breasts, which can lead to faster milk production. If there is a surplus of milk, it is not necessary. Additionally, if milk production is currently at a balanced supply and demand state, it is fine to continue feeding. The main focus should still be on increasing nutrition, as sufficient nutritional content is sufficient regardless of whether emptying is needed.
