What should a mom do if her milk supply is insufficient?

Patient's question:

My wife is now in the seventh day after giving birth. The milk production is not very good. What should the new mom do if she doesn't have enough milk?

Doctor's answer:

If a mother's milk supply decreases, it is necessary to massage the breasts. Regularly use hot water to warm the breasts. 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 with milk production. You can also eat the following types of soups, such as lean meat soup, fresh fish soup, chicken soup, etc. These soups are rich in water-soluble nutrients. Drinking them after childbirth not only helps with physical recovery but also aids in milk production. Thank you.
