Folk believe that drinking the old hen soup after delivery can not only replenish the body for the parturient, but also help lactagogue. However, after delivery, the concentration of estrogen and progesterone in the blood will be greatly reduced, and prolactin will play a role, thus promoting milk secretion. There is estrogen in hens. Drinking old hen soup too early and too much after delivery will increase estrogen in the blood and weaken the role of prolactin, thus reducing the secretion of milk. After a period of postpartum, you can eat the old hen in moderation when the milk secretion is normal and sufficient.
If you return to milk after delivery, you can let your baby suck more milk, which can increase the number of feedings, thus stimulating the secretion of milk. Even if the milk is insufficient or there is no milk, let the baby suck more milk. If increasing the number of feedings can't solve the problem, you can adopt the method of artificial milking, squeezing by hand or sucking with a breast pump, draining the milk, and stimulating the breast to secrete milk. This is also a way to solve the problem of returning milk.
