Inadequate nutrition and low water intake: When the body lacks essential nutrients, especially water, milk production is affected.
Depression, stress: Disruptions in the mother's daily life, lack of sleep, or emotional stress can reduce milk supply.
Poor breastfeeding: If the baby doesn't breastfeed properly or frequently enough, milk production can decrease.
Hormonal imbalance: A deficiency in hormones that promote milk production can lead to insufficient milk.
Early use of formula: Introducing formula too early can reduce the baby’s need for breast milk, leading to a decrease in milk supply.
Blocked or clogged milk ducts, inflammation, abscesses: Problems like blocked ducts or infections in the breast can affect milk flow.
Use of medications: Certain medications, including antibiotics and others, may interfere with milk production.
Consequences:
Baby loses appetite, eventually leading to total milk loss: If the milk supply continues to decrease, the baby may stop breastfeeding, which can eventually lead to no milk at all.
Nutritional deficiencies in the baby, slower development: Without enough breast milk, the baby may suffer from malnutrition and fail to develop properly.
Weakened immune system in the baby, increased susceptibility to illness: Breast milk provides essential nutrients and antibodies; a lack of it weakens the baby’s immune system.
Reduced mother-child bonding: The inability to breastfeed can affect the emotional connection between mother and child.
Treatment for Milk Loss in Breastfeeding Women
Western Medicine and Solutions:
Milk loss after childbirth occurs when the mother’s breasts do not produce milk for the baby. The baby may breastfeed often but milk doesn't flow, leaving the baby hungry and crying, while the mother may be unsure of how to resolve the issue. In many cases, milk may suddenly stop during breastfeeding. The amount of milk decreases gradually until it is completely gone. Currently, modern medicine has no effective medication for this condition. The solutions provided mainly focus on improving diet, lifestyle, and using breast pumps to stimulate milk production.

SUPPORTING POSTPARTUM TREATMENT WITH TRADITIONAL MEDICINE
According to traditional medicine, milk production stems from blood transformation, which relies on the spleen and stomach's functions. The quantity and quality of milk are primarily linked to blood; abundant blood leads to plentiful and high-quality milk. Since "qi drives blood," both qi and blood must be robust. After childbirth, significant blood loss and irregular rest can weaken qi and blood, causing liver qi stagnation, which may result in low or no milk production. Since ancient times, herbs like Leonurus (ích mẫu), Angelica sinensis (đương quy), and Tetrapanax (thông thảo) have been considered vital for postpartum women, supporting blood nourishment, milk production, blood circulation, and resolving blood stasis for overall health.
The classic formula "Thông Can Sinh Nhũ Thang" treats insufficient milk flow post-delivery, with the following ingredients:
Atractylodes macrocephala (Bạch truật): Strengthens the spleen, improves digestion, and nourishes blood.
Angelica sinensis (Đương quy): Nourishes and activates blood, regulates menstruation, relieves pain, and benefits postpartum women.
Polygala tenuifolia (Viễn chí): Calms the mind and enhances cognition.
Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Cam thảo): Detoxifies, relieves pain, and harmonizes other herbs.
