Question
A parent, concerned about their newborn’s jaundice issue and having temporarily stopped breastfeeding for eight days, inquired about the possibility of using galactogogues to stimulate breast milk production and sought recommendations for such products.
Answer
The doctor advised using a breast pump to empty the breasts after stopping breastfeeding, maintain a cheerful mood, increase nutritional intake, and encourage the baby to suckle more frequently. At the same time, it was suggested that galactogogues could be taken to promote breast milk production. These are the suggestions on how to stimulate breast milk production, hoping they are helpful to the parent, and wishing the newborn a swift recovery.
