Patient's question:
If I am breastfeeding, can I eat hen? My mom brought in a few hens, but I don't know if I can eat them.Doctor's answer:
After giving birth, eating hen can lead to milk reflux. You cannot eat hen after delivery because it contains androgens, which can reduce milk production and cause milk to return. Although eating hen can nourish the body, it is not suitable for postpartum consumption. If you want to increase milk production, you can choose to eat rooster, as rooster can increase milk production.After giving birth, eating hen will naturally lead to milk returning, so it is best to avoid it. If you want to supplement nutrition, you can choose other foods to replenish. You can also increase your milk production, which is beneficial to your recovery.
