What soup should I drink to increase milk secretion after caesarean section

After giving birth, the most important thing for women is to provide enough milk to the baby so that the baby can replenish its own nutrition. After a caesarean section, a woman's body is very different from that of a woman who has given birth naturally. Generally, a woman's body is much weaker after a caesarean section, so the process of milk production is relatively longer. At this time, you need to eat something to help with milk production, so what can you eat after a cesarean section to help with milk production?

1. Pig's trotter milk-inducing soup

Fresh pig's trotters (pork bones, cavity bones, ribs, leg bones can also be used), add water and various seasonings and ingredients. Put it in a pot and boil it for 1-2 hours (it is better to use a purple clay pot for slow cooking), drink it for 3-5 days, and the milk will come naturally. This method will be more effective if combined with Chinese medicine.

2. Loofah and Yellow Croaker Soup

Cook 1 loofah and 4 yellow croakers together into soup. Add some soy sauce and a little salt when eating. Drink it once a day for three consecutive days to speed up lactation.

3. Peanut Rice Wine

Add peanuts to the rice wine bought from the breakfast shop and boil them together. It is best to add a few poached eggs into it. It is both nutritious and can promote lactation. It is also effective if consumed as breakfast every day.

4. Shrimp Wonton Soup

Add fresh shrimp to wontons, seasoning and a little salt, stew it, and eat it for breakfast. Shrimp is very helpful for postpartum anemia and lack of milk.

5. Crucian carp soup

Add crucian carp, tongcao (a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient) and a little salt to make soup. Eat fish and drink the soup twice a day for 3-5 days.

The knowledge of drinking milk-promoting soup

Drinking lactation soup after childbirth generally follows the following two points:

1. Understand the secretion patterns of breast milk. Generally speaking, in the first 7 days after a baby is born, the milk secreted by the mammary glands is relatively viscous and slightly yellowish. This is colostrum. Colostrum enters the baby's body and causes the baby to produce immunoglobulin A, which can protect the baby from bacteria. If the amount of colostrum secreted is not much, let the baby suck the nipple repeatedly. Around the 8th day after delivery, the mammary glands begin to secrete real milk. Generally, on the third day after delivery, mothers are given carp soup, pig's trotter soup and other milk-producing foods to drink.

2. Pay attention to the physical condition of the mother. If the mother is healthy, well-nourished, and has a large amount of colostrum secretion, the time for drinking the lactation-inducing soup can be appropriately postponed, and the amount she drinks can be relatively reduced to avoid excessive fullness of the breasts, which can cause discomfort. If the mother is in poor health, she can take lactation-promoting soup earlier and drink more appropriately, but she should stop taking it in moderation to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion.
