Question
The baby has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and isn’t eating much. How should I handle a situation where the baby doesn’t eat milk during the day?
Answer
Hello, the mother should maintain a cheerful spirit, avoid overexertion, get enough rest, and drink more soup like pork bone soup, pig’s trotter soup, and chicken soup. You can also consume “raw milk,” “milk granules,” or consider herbal medicine or acupuncture to increase milk supply. Before each feeding, cover both breasts with a warm, damp towel, press the nipples and areola with both hands, and gently massage in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for 10-15 minutes. Massaging not only helps alleviate the mother’s breast engorgement but also promotes milk secretion.
