How long after stopping breastfeeding will milk production return?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long does it take for milk to come in?

Doctor's answer:

3 days, insufficient milk production after childbirth may be due to low prolactin levels or blocked milk ducts. In this case, it is recommended to drink more milk-boosting soups, such as pig trotter soup or crucian carp soup. You can also take Tongruo Dan (milk-enhancing pills) appropriately. Letting the baby suckle the breasts more often can help increase milk production. Hello, such issues require a comprehensive examination for proper diagnosis. Stop taking birth control before your period, take a pregnancy test with a positive result, and an ultrasound can confirm the presence of an embryo, indicating pregnancy. It is advised to drink more water and get adequate rest.
