Patient's question:
I had a physical check-up after giving birth, and the doctor said that the lactose content in my breast milk is a bit low. It might be necessary to eat something to increase the lactose level. What should I generally do if the lactose content in breast milk is low?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there is a situation where the lactose content in breast milk is relatively low, we can adjust the lactose levels in breast milk through the mother's dietary habits. For example, you can eat more high-protein and high-starch foods, such as drinking more milk, fish, lean meat, etc., as well as fruits with high lactose content, such as bananas, dragon fruits, etc., which can effectively correct the low lactose in breast milk.
