What to eat to produce milk?

Many women who are thin or have small breasts will have little milk or no milk during breastfeeding. When faced with this situation, many mothers directly use milk powder to feed their infants. This is a very bad practice. On the one hand, if the child cannot drink breast milk from an early age, he or she will lose at the starting line; on the other hand, the mother's milk will not be secreted. Next, let’s take a look at some recipes that can help stimulate lactation.

1. Tongcao pig's trotter lactation-promoting soup: first wash the pig's trotters, scrape off the fur, put them in a casserole together with the tongcao, add 1.5 kg of water and cook into soup. Use high heat first, then change to low heat after the water boils, and cook for 1-2 hours. Drink twice a day for 3-5 consecutive days. Pig's trotters are rich in protein and fat, and have a strong effect of nourishing blood and activating blood circulation. Tongcao can promote diuresis and lactation. Eating them together not only has a good effect on lactation, but also can promote the speedy recovery of the mother.

2. Pig's trotter and daylily soup: Soak the daylily in warm water for half an hour, remove the stems, wash with new water, cut into small pieces and set aside. Wash the pig's trotters, chop them into small pieces with a knife, put them into a casserole, add appropriate amount of water, boil them over high heat, add day lily and rock sugar, and simmer them over low heat until the pig's trotters are tender and ready to eat. This soup has the effects of nourishing blood and producing sperm, strengthening bones and promoting milk secretion, and has a good promoting effect on the secretion of milk in postpartum women.

3. Pork bone lactation soup: first wash the pork bones and put them in a pot with clean water, then cook them in the pot with tongcao for 1-2 hours until it becomes a small bowl of pork bone soup, then add a little soy sauce. Drink it all at once and continue for 3-5 days. Pig bones have the effects of replenishing qi, blood and producing milk. When added with tongcao, the lactation effect is even stronger.
