Patient's question:
Just had a baby and am currently breastfeeding. However, there isn't enough milk. It's said that taking breast-boosting granules can increase milk supply. I want to ask, can breast-boosting granules be taken continuously? The kind of help I need: Can breast-boosting granules be taken continuously?Doctor's answer:
Warmly welcome you to consult. Insufficient milk supply can be addressed through dietary nourishment. Drink plenty of water and soups. Save the recipe for stewed pig trotters with tongcao (a traditional herb). Add no seasonings, stew it for a longer time, and drink the soup. Use a warm towel, slightly cool to the touch, to apply cold compresses to both breasts. Maintain a positive mindset, as milk production is regulated by the pituitary gland and is greatly influenced by your mental state. Believe firmly that you have enough milk and it is of good quality. Encourage frequent breastfeeding by your baby, and things will improve.The lactation granules are made from Huangqi (Astragalus membranaceus), Dangshen (Codonopsis pilosula), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala), Fu Ling (Poria cocos), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Chai Hu (Bupleurum chinense), Wangbuluxing (Vaccaria segetalis), Loulu (Raphanus sativus), and Xuanhonggen (Hemerocallis fulva). They are known for boosting qi and nourishing blood, promoting milk flow, and effectively treating insufficient milk supply caused by postpartum qi and blood deficiency. However, as the saying goes, "all medicine has side effects," so it is not recommended for long-term use. If the effect exceeds expectations, discontinue the medication.
