I haven't been able to breastfeed for these last few days, should I not have milk anymore? What should I do?

Patient's question:

During the postpartum period, the baby doesn't eat for over two hours and the milk becomes engorged. The past two days, since the baby has reached the full moon, the engorgement has stopped, and the milk is soft and lumpy. When the baby eats from one side, the other side also leaks milk, and it can also be squeezed out. Is it possible that the milk is gone? What should be eaten for better results?

Doctor's answer:

Cannot, you should follow a normal diet, of course, drink more soup. When cooking, make stewed dishes, which can help with milk production. It is recommended that you ensure sufficient deep sleep, do not work overtime, rest well, which is beneficial to your health. At the same time, engage in appropriate exercise to enhance nutrient absorption, eat meat without shortage, consume vegetables, fruits, and meat, pay attention to dietary hygiene, and this will be fine. Milk should be sufficient. I hope my explanation helps you.
