Does the amount of breast milk have anything to do with how much you eat?

Patient's question:

I am six months pregnant, and I haven't had any symptoms during pregnancy. I used to dislike eating, and I still don't like it much, so my stomach isn't very big either. This makes me wonder if the baby isn't very big either. Is the amount of food eaten related to the baby's weight?

Doctor's answer:

Regular lifestyle, happy mood, sufficient sleep, avoid overexertion, increase nutrition, milk supply relies on the mother's nutrition, therefore, the diet should include adequate protein, minerals, and vitamins, while avoiding excessive fat. Since milk contains 90% water, it is important to drink more soups and broths, such as chicken soup, pig trotter soup, crucian carp and tofu soup, bone and vegetable soup, etc. If possible, consume milk or soy milk daily.
