Why is it considered immoral to drink postpartum milk?

Patient's question:

Today, while chatting with my colleagues, we talked about how breastfeeding can be considered immoral. I wanted to know why breastfeeding is considered immoral?

Doctor's answer:

This is a superstitious belief. There is no such thing as what you mentioned. Breast milk is very important for the baby. Common foods for new mothers to consume for lactation include: pig trotter soup, crucian carp soup, papaya-peanut-red jujube soup, etc., to increase milk production; they can also take food and medicine that share the same origin, such as milk-boosting soup, which replenishes blood and qi, relieves liver qi stagnation, dispels blood stasis, promotes milk flow, increases breast milk volume, stimulates milk production, and improves milk quality.
