Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please advise on what to eat postpartum to speed up milk production.Doctor's answer:
Maltose and estrogen. However, these are all supplementary. When you start weaning, the milk will still increase regardless, and it will be very painful. At this point, it is essential to express the milk. Don't listen to old sayings that suggest letting it hurt and it will go back on its own, because doing so can easily lead to inflammation. Use a breast pump to express the milk, but no matter how much you pump, it won't be as effective as a child feeding. Over time, the milk supply will gradually decrease. With the help of medication, it usually takes about one to two weeks to wean.
