Patient's question:
I have been producing for two months now and am currently breastfeeding. My family says that eating soy sauce may cause milk to decrease, but I don't know if this is true. I want to know if eating soy sauce while postpartum can lead to milk reduction?Doctor's answer:
After eating soy sauce while postpartum, there is no risk of milk suppression, but soy sauce contains more salt and coloring ingredients. Therefore, during childbirth, soy sauce seasonings should be consumed as little as possible, opting for lighter and easier-to-digest options to prevent postpartum constipation. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to preventing cold and warmth, reducing foods that are prone to generating excessive internal heat, and minimizing highly complementary foods, all of which contribute to postpartum recovery. It is recommended to pay attention to getting plenty of rest during breastfeeding.
