What should I do if I have a low milk supply after a caesarean section?

Patient's question:

Postpartum for more than a month, milk is scarce, breasts have no fullness. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Drank lactation tea and ate traditional Chinese medicine, but the effect was not obvious. I want to breastfeed, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum galactorrhea can be divided into deficiency and excess patterns. In your case, it is likely related to body deficiency, so paying attention to dietary nutrition is very important. Although the milk supply is not very abundant, it is still necessary to encourage the baby to suckle the nipple to stimulate milk secretion. Pay attention to nutrition in daily life and consume more milk-boosting foods such as pig trotters and peanuts.
The patient is facing the challenges of a cesarean section. We should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical visits. If the cesarean section condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
