Patient's question:
The baby is now three months old, and I am in the breastfeeding period, but my milk supply is very low and not enough to drink. I feel that I am lacking in qi and blood, experiencing chills, fear of cold, cold hands and feet, pale face without color, poor appetite, and hair loss. I would like to ask if these symptoms indicate a deficiency in qi and blood during breastfeeding. How should I supplement then? And how should I increase milk production if I have low milk supply?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended to use some Qi-tonifying and blood-nourishing herbs with added lactation-enhancing properties for dietary supplementation. You can use Qi-tonifying, blood-nourishing, and lactation-enhancing herbs for dietary supplementation. Apply moxibustion to acupoints such as (Rumen), (Zhongwan), (Shaofu), and (Zusanli). Get plenty of rest and avoid overtime work. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby is now three months old, and I am in the breastfeeding period, but my milk supply is very low and not enough to drink." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
