Patient's question:
In the afternoon of the 19th, I had a caesarean section, and since then, my breasts have been sore and there is very little milk. The milk is very thin. The child drinks formula milk, but when they also drink breast milk, they have loose stools. I asked the doctor if there are any methods to make the milk sufficient. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Breast tenderness suggests that milk has already come in, but the milk ducts are not smooth, so the baby needs to be nursed frequently. Once the milk ducts are clear, the breasts will no longer feel full. Postpartum, it's important to enhance nutrition, especially by consuming foods rich in protein and fresh vegetables. It's best to eat more soups, such as crucian carp soup, pig trotter soup, and large bone soup. The nausea and vomiting should be physiological. It may not require special treatment. It's recommended to empty the milk as much as possible during each feeding. You can use a warm towel to apply cold compresses to the breasts to improve blood circulation, which may help increase milk production.
