Patient's question:
A while ago, I just had a baby, and now I'm breastfeeding. Some people say that certain things can reduce milk supply, and I want to know if sesame is something that reduces milk supply or increases it.Doctor's answer:
Mothers who drink black sesame seeds have a certain function similar to milk. Black sesame seeds are rich in amino acids, which can activate breast cells in postpartum women and also promote their metabolic function, helping with milk production. Additionally, it needs to be adjusted according to specific conditions. If there is no milk supply due to postpartum emotional distress, it is necessary to maintain a carefree mood. If there is a lack of nutrition, you can drink some black sesame seeds appropriately, and you can choose traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the syndrome according to the situation. Acupuncture treatment is also a very good principle.
