Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old, nearly a month after giving birth, now found that the baby always startsle when drinking milk. Does milk startle mean there is too much milk?Doctor's answer:
It's not that certain either. Some milk shock may only last for a short while, and it disappears after a while. The milk is abundant, and the baby may not finish it all. When the child is feeding, the sucking stimulates milk production, and the effort may cause breast pain. The baby's gurgling while swallowing indicates that the milk supply is sufficient, which is what is known as milk shock. If there are no discomforts in the breasts during normal times, there is no need to worry too much. Continue feeding as usual.
