Patient's question:
My wife had a baby about half a month ago, and she had a lot of milk at first. However, 15 days later, her milk suddenly became very little, not enough for the newborn. A traditional Chinese medicine doctor suggested washing pig claws clean, boiling them in water, and drinking the broth. Is it effective? Thank you. Can it help increase milk production?Previous Treatment and Effects:
- Taken one bottle of Compound Wangbuluxing tablets
- Had fermented glutinous rice eggs, soybeans, and stewed pig trotters, crucian carp soup, and donkey meat soup
- Currently taking 2 more sets of traditional Chinese medicine, still with no effect
- A traditional Chinese medicine doctor took her pulse and said her body is very weak and her stomach is not good. She is now taking traditional Chinese medicine.
- Just stewed pig claws and hasn’t drunk it yet
Help Needed:
Milk enough for the newborn is just fine. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
First, you need to take a look at your regular three meals to see if your diet is good. You must eat more rice, and also drink more soup, because you are breastfeeding, so you must have confidence. Second, you must make sure your baby drinks as much as possible. Even if he stops, as long as he is still drinking, you should try your best to encourage him to continue. This is the only way to stimulate milk production.Next, I have a recipe for you: First, stir-fry crucian carp with lard, then simmer it with soybean sprouts in a soup. Many people have used this recipe and said it works well. You can try it too. Remember the points I mentioned: drinking plenty of rice and soup is better than taking medicine.
