Patient's question:
What is the best food to increase milk supply? I have severe milk insufficiency. What Chinese medicine can help with lactation? I searched on Baidu and found that papaya, peanuts, and jujube soup is very effective for insufficient milk supply. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
The milk supply is not yet sufficient. It is recommended that you try drinking stewed pig trotter soup, in addition to carp soup and fermented glutinous rice with eggs, which are still quite effective. New mothers should pay attention to nutritional balance and ensure the body gets adequate rest, while maintaining a positive mood. If the milk supply is low, the baby should be breastfed more frequently and stimulated more, and the mother should consume more liquid foods to increase body moisture and enhance milk production. Always stay in a good mood and pay attention to rest.
