Patient's question:
My wife has had a C-section for 5 days and found a lactation consultant to massage it. Sometimes the milk output is much more than usual, but sometimes the baby still doesn't get enough to eat. What's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Drink more milk-boosting soups after giving birth, such as pig trotter soup, crucian carp soup, etc. Additionally, cold compresses and massage can be applied. It is also effective to consult a professional massage therapist. Furthermore, always maintain a positive mood. If milk supply is insufficient, mixed feeding with formula milk can be implemented, or traditional Chinese medicine can be taken to promote lactation. For cesarean section patients, while receiving standard medical treatment, folk remedies can be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat.
