If it is something in the traditional diet, wouldn't Chinese women have
identified it long ago?
Maybe suggesting that the mother nurse on one side at each feeding, doing
breast compression, and keeping the baby actively sucking and swallowing may
help. Also help the mother keep a record of feeding times, length onf
feedings, etc. The baby may not be nursing long enough.
