How to improve after breastfeeding

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I improve it after breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Suggest trying the following methods:
1. Frequently let the child suck, 8-12 times a day, even if you feel there is no milk, let the child suck to stimulate the secretion of prolactin.
2. In addition to strengthening nutrition, you can eat galactagogues (milk-enhancing foods) and medications. It is recommended to eat more pig trotters, peanuts, crucian carp soup, fermented glutinous rice, pig trotters stewed with trichosanthes, pig trotters stewed with soybeans, etc.
3. Pay attention to rest, increase sleep, and avoid overexertion.
4. Maintain a happy mood. Mental stress or anger can cause milk production to decrease sharply. If the milk supply does not increase significantly, you may need to supplement the baby with formula milk.
