What to do if you don't feel breast engorgement

During the lactation period, pregnant women generally have symptoms of breast engorgement, but not all mothers will experience this feeling. In fact, it is quite normal if your milk does not increase. It does not mean that the mother has less milk, so you don’t need to worry too much if your milk does not increase. But if you really have less milk, then you need to eat more foods that can increase milk production. Here are some foods that are effective in increasing milk production!

1. Milk and cabbage soup

Preparation method: Remove the leaves of the prepared cabbage, tear them into pieces with your hands, wash them and set them aside for later use.
