Low breast milk production can be improved by consuming nutritious soups, such as crucian carp soup, pig trotter soup, or pork rib soup, which help stimulate lactation and increase milk volume. Dietarily, it is important to consume nutrient-rich foods—including eggs, fish, meat, and dairy products—since adequate nutrition not only boosts milk volume but also enhances milk quality, thereby benefiting the baby’s health.
