Patient's question:
Postpartum for 7 days already, milk supply is severely insufficient. I don't know if my baby Tai can eat well, how to promote milk production?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are many methods for lactation, mainly including massage and dietary therapy, depending on which one suits you. Drink plenty of soups and broths, such as pig trotters, crucian carp, and black chicken soup. Millet porridge is also beneficial for lactation. Drinking these things can help improve milk production. Even if your milk supply is not ideal, it's important to keep the baby nursing, as the more you nurse, the more milk you produce. In daily life, it's advisable to eat less spicy and irritating foods, as they can reduce milk supply. For breastfeeding mothers, it's essential to ensure adequate sleep and rest, avoid staying up late, maintain a regular lifestyle, and keep a positive mood. Poor air quality can also affect milk production, so make sure the environment is fresh and well-ventilated.
