Patient's question:
The baby is five and a half months old. Recently, the milk has become less. A few days ago, I drank tongcao (a traditional Chinese herb) and stewed pig trotters. May I ask if it's okay to keep drinking them together? Because if I don't drink them for these few days, it gets even less.Doctor's answer:
The excretion of breast milk is closely related to mood, the child's sucking, and the type of food consumed. The lactation-enhancing drugs or foods you mentioned can be consumed with focus. Of course, it's also important to maintain consistent nipple stimulation daily. Stay calm and composed at all times. Regularly massage and apply cold compresses to the breasts. This will help increase milk production continuously. The above advice is for this issue, and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
