Patient's question:
I have had a cesarean section and given birth to my daughter ten days ago. Up to now, my milk supply is still very low, and I can't even feed my daughter properly. She also refuses to take formula. She cries very intensely every day. What can I do about low milk supply after a cesarean section? Is there any way to increase my milk production?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, if the issue of insufficient milk supply during breastfeeding reoccurs, it is still recommended to actively implement artificial feeding to aid digestion. First and foremost, it is important to pay attention to nutrition, maintain a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid excessive exertion and mental stress. You can also increase bowel movements by consuming more soups or tonics. Stimulating the breasts occasionally can help promote milk discharge. Generally, it takes about a month to fully recover.For patients, if the cesarean section condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medications should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the cesarean section. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to help alleviate the condition.
