Pregnant women have HELLP syndrome, can the baby eat breast milk after delivery?

Patient's question:

After getting pregnant, my platelet count has been low, staying around 50-70. At 38 weeks, it dropped to 33, and later during childbirth, the check-up result was 25. I had a cesarean section. I would like to ask, can the baby breastfeed?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum babies can eat breast milk. Insufficient milk production after childbirth may be due to low prolactin levels or blocked milk ducts. In this case, it is necessary to drink more milk-boosting soups, such as pig trotter soup and crucian carp soup. Appropriate use of milk-enhancing pills can also help. Frequent breastfeeding by the baby is beneficial for increasing milk production.
