Acupuncture for Postpartum Lactation: Janice’s Recovery Story

At New York Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs, Dr. Shaobai Wang frequently supports new mothers experiencing lactation issues using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This case highlights how acupuncture helped one NYC mother quickly overcome a persistent lack of breast milk.

Case Overview: Janice G.
  • Age: 35
  • Occupation: IT professional
  • Marital Status: Married
  • Children: 1 newborn
  • Main Concern: Inadequate breast milk production for 4 months after giving birth
  • General Condition: Healthy overall but under significant emotional stress
  • Western Medical Advice: Her physician advised her to “wait and see”
TCM Diagnosis & Treatment

Dr. Wang assessed Janice’s symptoms and identified a pattern of liver qi stagnation with qi and blood deficiency, a common postpartum imbalance in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

  • Treatment Plan: Acupuncture sessions twice a week
  • Total Sessions: 6
Outcome

After just six acupuncture treatments, Janice reported a significant increase in milk production. She was able to fully breastfeed her child without needing supplemental formula. This case demonstrates how acupuncture can gently and effectively support postpartum recovery – especially when conventional options are limited or nonresponsive.

Why Acupuncture for Low Milk Supply?

In TCM, insufficient lactation is often due to emotional stress, energy depletion, and blocked qi pathways. Acupuncture helps by:

  • Restoring hormonal balance post-delivery
  • Stimulating milk-producing meridians
  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Enhancing qi and blood flow to the breasts

Regain Confidence in Breastfeeding

If you are experiencing low milk supply, don’t wait for your body to “catch up.” Acupuncture can help regulate your system naturally.
