Cesarean section for 10 days, milk is not enough for the baby to eat, and it keeps leaking. What's going on? It feels soft when touched, and there's no milk, it's not getting bigger! How can I make more milk?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and situation, when a postpartum woman has insufficient breast milk, she should consume more foods rich in protein, such as carp soup and pig trotter soup. You can add tongcao to aid digestion and provide proper nutrition. Oral traditional Chinese medicine can also be taken to regulate milk production. Additionally, timely examination by a TCM practitioner can confirm the condition, followed by necessary TCM treatment and herbal regulation. You can also seek follow-up care at the (breast department) of a regular hospital.
