Patient's question:
My wife had a cesarean section ten days ago after giving birth, but her milk still won't come in. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Early contact with the child after a cesarean section, allowing the child to suck the nipple, can enhance milk production. Dietary measures such as steamed crucian carp soup, pig trotters, millet porridge, and stewed old hen soup can also increase milk production. After giving birth, regular massage of the breasts from the root of the nipple to the tip is recommended. If milk has not yet been produced, herbal remedies such as Wangbuluxing (Wu Liu Xing), Mountaike (Chuan Shan Jia), and Tongcao (Tong Cao) can be used for treatment. Additionally, during the recovery period for cesarean section patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
