Patient's question:
My colleague has been postpartum for a month. Due to high blood pressure at the time, she had a cesarean section. After the surgery, her blood pressure remained high, so she was artificially fed for several days postpartum. As a result, she now has very little milk production, and no matter how much she eats, it doesn't seem to help. I wonder if there are any methods that can solve this now.Doctor's answer:
Low milk supply should first be addressed by supplementing nutrition. Since all nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body, it's important to choose high-nutrient foods such as milk, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. At the same time, preparing more soup or broth can help stimulate milk production. Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum complications should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
