Question
My baby is three months and a half old, and since two months, the baby has refused to drink formula milk and only wants to breastfeed. Why is this? What should I do if mom’s milk isn’t enough for the baby?
Answer
For your question, it is recommended to consume more poultry, eggs, and meats, drink plenty of water and soup to increase breast milk production. Also, encourage the baby to suckle more often and pay attention to nutrition and adequate sleep. Take appropriate rest during the day. After each feeding, express any remaining milk to stimulate further milk production. It’s also beneficial to eat more warming foods like red dates, carp, longans, peanuts, etc., as these help in the smooth flow of milk.
