Is it effective for your husband to use a breast pump when you have insufficient milk?

Patient's question:

27 years old, now it's the seventh day after giving birth. The milk situation isn't very good. Will it help if my husband uses a breast pump?

Doctor's answer:

If milk supply is insufficient, it is not recommended to let your husband suck. Adult mouths secrete a large amount of bacterial components, and if your husband suck, it is easy to cause bacterial growth and trigger inflammation. You can let the baby suck more, pay attention to a balanced diet, eat more foods that promote milk production, manage your emotions, and maintain a good emotional state, because poor emotions can also hinder milk production.
