Patient's question:
After a cesarean section, the doctor gave me traditional Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and nourishing the body, along with Ba Zhen Yi Mu Wan. However, I am breastfeeding, so is it safe for me to take these without affecting the child?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the milk is sufficient for the child after a cesarean section, you do not need to take any more medication. It is recommended that you pay attention to the nutritional balance of your diet. You can appropriately eat some stewed pork trotters with soybeans, which can both enhance breast milk and aid in digesting the nutrients for postpartum women.Suggestions:
1. Rest more, avoid overexertion, and always maintain a cheerful mood to prevent negative emotions such as anger or tension.
2. Drink some poria and ginger lamb soup appropriately, which is very beneficial for replenishing qi and blood after giving birth.
Wishing you good health!
