Can I still increase my milk production after taking milk-suppressing medicine?

Wet milk dryness is a common phenomenon in life. Generally speaking, weaning may dryness when there is a problem with the mother's body. This is very detrimental to the baby's healthy development and can cause malnutrition in the baby. There are many factors that cause milk dryness, among which accidentally ingesting some milk dryness drugs is relatively common. So, is it still possible to increase milk production after taking milk dryness drugs? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Even if the milk is weaned, it can still be recovered. As long as there is milk and the milk has not completely returned to the body, it can be recovered. Pay attention to your happy mood, don’t be angry or anxious, and let the baby suck more.

Specific methods to increase milk supply (1) At every meal, the baby should have breast milk first. Feed the left side for about 15 minutes, then feed the right side. At this time, take the prepared breast pump and suck the left side that the baby just sucked. The baby was feeding on the right side, and the breast pump on the left side also started to produce milk. (2) Do not add milk powder to the baby’s diet. When your baby is hungry, give him the stored milk. Try to delay it until 15 minutes after your last breastfeeding, so that your breasts will produce a little more milk again. It won't be the case that the baby keeps breastfeeding but only a little bit. (3) If your baby is still hungry after eating, add a few spoonfuls of boiled water. It's hot now, so even for newborn babies, it's good to use some water. The air-conditioned room is dry in winter, so it’s okay to add some water. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, and it’s fine if you refuse to give water.

(4) For the second meal, go back to the first step. Then, use the milk from the previous meal to fill the baby’s teeth. (5) Empty the milk at the second meal and see how much is left. After a few days, you will find that more and more milk is discharged. (6) If the amount of milk discharged later is less than that discharged earlier, the mother needs to make an effort to stimulate the milk flow and collect some more milk about 10 minutes after the baby has finished feeding. In short, the amount of milk that is emptied should exceed the amount that the baby replenishes. Next, the amount of milk will exceed the required number more and more, until one day you realize that emptying the milk is useless and the milk stored in the refrigerator exceeds the required number of days, then you have successfully increased the amount of milk.
