Is it useful to take Chinese medicine when breast milk is low?

After giving birth, a mother enters the nursing period, and breast milk is the best source of nutrition for the baby. Breastfeeding is very beneficial for both the baby and the mother. However, some mothers have no milk or very little, which is very distressing. So, is it helpful to take Chinese medicine to reduce breast milk? Although it is okay to take Chinese medicine, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor. It is best to promote the increase of breast milk through diet therapy.

Many women will have sufficient milk production after giving birth. When this happens, drinking Chinese medicine is very effective, and Chinese medicine will not affect the quality of milk secretion. When there is insufficient milk, we can promote lactation by taking Mamaduo orally, or through massage by a lactation consultant to help us promote lactation.

How to judge if you have insufficient milk? First of all, we can judge from the time the baby feeds. Each time the baby is full, he should keep the milk for about two to three hours. If the interval is more than two hours, then it is possible that the milk is insufficient. Secondly, we can judge from the baby's spirit. If the baby continues to cry after feeding, then it is very likely that the baby is not full, which means that the baby does not have enough milk.

Another way to judge is to judge by the baby's urine. Generally, the baby should defecate at least six times a day. If the baby urinates less frequently during the day, it just means that the mother's milk is insufficient. The last way to judge is from the baby's weight. Generally, the baby will gain two to three pounds in the first few months after birth. If the baby's weight does not reach this standard, it means that the mother's milk is insufficient.
