Does lactation work if milk supply is not enough?

Babies need breast milk to maintain nutrition right after they are born, because their natural conditioned reflex is only sucking, so babies can only drink milk. Many women have very little milk during the confinement period, which is not enough for their babies. In this case, they need to drink more soups that can increase milk production. At the same time, they can massage themselves regularly to promote blood circulation in the breast area and unclog the milk ducts. So if the milk is not enough, will lactation be effective?

Papaya and crucian carp soup. Remove the seeds and peel the carp, then slaughter it. Rinse thoroughly and drain dry.

Some new mothers do not have enough milk, or have milk but it cannot come down, and they are worried that their babies will be hungry. Therefore, a new profession - lactation consultant came into being. Some lactation consultants even earn nearly 10,000 yuan a month. In response to the current new demands, in addition to establishing a professional psychological counseling center for mothers, breast care for mothers is also one of their services. When the mother has a fever, red and swollen breasts, or milk engorgement, the nurses of the institution will help her eliminate the pain through massage, preparation of complementary foods, and other methods. "There are actually many techniques for inducing lactation, and not just anyone can do it. If not handled properly, it may cause harm to the mother."

It is reported that there are many reasons why mothers have difficulty producing milk, some of which are genetic factors; some mothers have small nipples and no milk glands; and some mothers are too picky about food, leading to malnutrition.
