Supporting you through breastfeeding and lactation ๐ค
This stage can be beautiful, but it can also come with its own challenges, especially as your body is still recovering and adjusting after birth.
In Chinese medicine, we often look at supporting blood, energy, and the flow through the body to help with milk production and overall wellbeing.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can gently support:
โข milk supply
โข flow and let-down
โข fatigue and depletion
โข emotional wellbeing during this time
Some gentle ways to support your body through this time:
โข eat enough
โข prioritise warm, nourishing meals
โข stay well hydrated
โข rest where you can
โข include foods that support blood and energy
Things like congee, soups, broths, oats, and warming teas can be especially helpful during this time.
Every feeding journey looks different, and the most important thing is that you feel supported in what works for you and your baby.
While I see a great response from acupuncture in the clinic, I know itโs not always easy or possible to get here during the newborn phase.
