Patient's question:
I just had a baby last week and recently want to start practicing yoga, but I'm worried it might affect my milk supply. I only see my friends practicing yoga, so I'd like to join them too. Generally speaking, does practicing yoga during breastfeeding affect milk production?Doctor's answer:
Many women can practice yoga while breastfeeding to enhance milk production without causing milk reflux. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest and incorporate more high-protein foods and fresh fruits into your diet. Additionally, during this period, we must pay greater attention to rest to avoid overexertion. For example, ingredients such as Sichuan pepper, ginseng, and hen meat are known to promote milk flow.
