Five months after delivery, you can also pursue milk supply, but the effect will be uneven. This also depends on the pregnant mother's own physique, and everyone's physiological response is different. It is necessary to actively regulate and promote the secretion of prolactin. Eat more foods that promote milk secretion, such as red bean and white sugar soup, bone soup, crucian carp soup, pig's trotters, raw pumpkin seeds, etc., and try to let the baby suck as much as possible to promote milk secretion. If the effect is not good, you need to give medication or a prolactinologist to help. In short, you need comprehensive conditioning.
If a lactating woman does not breastfeed for a long time, the continued fullness of the breasts will reflexively stimulate the brain and reduce the secretion of milk. This will cause the milk to return, and the mother will want to continue breastfeeding after the milk returns. To feed, you need to take medicine to chase milk, and at the same time, try to eat as much high-protein food as possible. Therefore, consider taking vitamin E and metoclopramide. Then every day, Chinese medicines such as Astragalus, Codonopsis, Passepartout, Tongcao, and Wangbuliuxing are mixed with high-protein foods to stew and eat, such as common crucian carp, pig's trotters, ribs, etc. And during this period, you need to ensure adequate sleep and drink plenty of water to promote milk secretion.
