What should I do if I don't have enough breast milk?

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 31 years old, just gave birth but not producing enough milk. What can I do? Desired help: My sister just gave birth 8 days ago and is not producing enough milk. I hope you can help.

Doctor's answer:

This is mainly due to insufficient excretion of prolactin in your body. You can improve this by using dietary methods or medication to enhance the excretion of this hormone. I recommend trying dietary therapy first, and if it doesn't work, then resort to medication. For example, cooking pig trotters with soybeans is very effective. Most people will produce more milk after eating it. Additionally, you can consume more crucian carp soup, which can also help increase milk production.
