How many days does it take for the Chinese medicine to work?

For postpartum women, insufficient milk secretion is often caused due to certain reasons. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the role of diet therapy. You can eat more foods that promote milk secretion. If the effect is still not very good, you must seek help from a doctor. You can use certain Chinese medicine for conditioning, which can often achieve very good results. This will avoid problems in feeding the baby. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How many days does it take for the Chinese medicine to work?

Method 1: Boil fenugreek, pangolin and elodonta in an iron pan and take it mainly to treat symptoms such as low milk supply or poor milk secretion.

Method 2: Take 20g of Fenugreek, 15g of Chinese Angelica, 12g each of Cyperus rotundus, Scutellaria baicalensis and Ligusticum chuanxiong, decoct in water and drink the soup, take it in 3 doses. You can also grind the above medicines into powder, take 6g each time and take with rice wine or warm water, 3 times a day. This method is suitable for mothers who have thick milk, little or no milk, or breast pain after giving birth.

Method three: 30g of Astragalus, 15g each of Angelica sinensis and Lophatherum gracile, 10g of Akebia (Akebia trifoliata should be used, as Akebia guanyin and Akebia chuanxiong are harmful to the kidneys), 25g of Vaccaria segetalis, decoct in water and drink the soup three times; suitable for mothers with thin milk or low milk supply. If the mother finds this soup difficult to swallow, she can wrap the medicine with clean gauze, stew it together with 1000~1500g of pig's trotters, and drink the trotters and soup together, divided into 2~4 times.

Method 4: 15g of Tongcao, 10g of Lophatherum gracile, 10g of Vaccaria segetalis, 20g of Astragalus membranaceus, and a pig's front hoof. Wrap the Chinese medicine in gauze and boil it with the pig's hoof for 2 to 2.5 hours. Eat the pig's hoof and drink the soup. It is best not to add salt. If you can't drink it, try to add as little salt as possible. Eat it every 4 hours or so for 3 to 4 days. If the effect is not good, it can be extended to 5 to 6 days.

Mother's experience in lactation

Old Watermelon Man: I think mothers should sleep well, eat well, and be in a good mood. Then the baby should have a good appetite and try to empty the breasts as much as possible every time so that the milk supply will be sufficient. Another simple method is to stew papaya with red dates, which can help you lose weight and promote lactation. You will feel your milk engorgement within an hour after eating it. I now eat a small bowl of it after each meal.

joanland: During the first two months of my baby's life, my milk supply was quite sufficient. Later, I drank less soup and ate mushrooms. Suddenly, my milk supply dropped drastically in less than a week. I quickly replenished my water, ate more tofu and drank soy milk, and squeezed out the remaining milk every time I fed my baby. After three days, my milk supply had basically recovered to 70% or 80%.

The Broken-Winged Mosquito: I only had a little milk 4 days after my baby was born, and I had to ask the doctor to prescribe milk. I drank tongcao water as plain water when I left the hospital, about ten cups a day. I had millet porridge or fermented rice and eggs in the morning, and crucian carp soup every day. Now I have too much milk and it’s being wasted a lot.

Mao Ma: Drink papaya and crucian carp soup, peanut pig's trotter soup, sweet wine and eggs. Anyway, drink more soup and eat less spicy food. Make sure to let the baby suck more milk, and squeeze out the milk that the baby cannot finish in time.

Mama Ai Doudou: Drink more wine and stuffed eggs, one bowl a day, eat more crucian carp, pig's trotters, chicken, drink more water, drink more soup, sleep more, and the most important thing is to let the baby suck more, and then use a breast pump after the baby finishes sucking. That's what I did. The milk supply is just right now.
