Patient's question:
After a cesarean section, I've had breast pain for three days, but the milk production is too low and the baby doesn't want to suckle. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello! Your situation is considered to be a result of postpartum qi and blood deficiency, which has led to insufficient milk production. This condition requires both medicinal treatment and dietary therapy for the best results. Don’t hurry; stay calm, believe in yourself, and remember to encourage the baby to nurse more.Advice: Remember, Mom, never get angry and maintain a cheerful mood. Continue to drink plenty of soup and broth, as active regulation is necessary. Keep your spirits up while actively increasing your fluid intake. I recommend using pig trotters, angelica sinensis, astragalus, and TCM herb Euonymus alatus for cooking soup to drink. Combine this with lactation massage for better results, which can help increase your milk production. Wishing you good health.
