Patient's question:
A colleague of ours, Xiao Zhang, is 28 years old this year. She has been nursing her child for half a month. During this time, her milk supply is particularly low. What should she do about insufficient milk production after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
If the mother does not have enough milk, it is necessary to massage the breasts, use hot water and warm compresses on the breasts frequently, and encourage the baby to suck more. It is recommended to consume foods that can promote milk production, such as crucian carp soup, bone broth, pig trotter soup, etc. When necessary, some massages can be done to assist in milk production. Eat more foods rich in water-soluble nutrients, which can help breastfeeding mothers recover their strength and accelerate milk production.
