Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis:
Hello, according to the situation you described, it is best to visit the breast surgery department of a hospital for examination. Postpartum nutritional supplementation is not always beneficial in excess. Fish soup, meat soup, or chicken soup, which are intended to boost milk production, should be consumed in moderation based on the amount of milk being produced. This is because some new mothers may have unblocked milk ducts when they first start producing milk, and if the newborn's sucking ability is weak, excessive milk production can easily lead to engorgement and clogged milk ducts, causing discomfort for the new mother. Therefore, postpartum foods that are meant to increase milk production should be started with small amounts.
