Patient's question:
After graduating from university, I got married to my husband, and now we have a baby. A little one is currently in the postpartum period. In the past, I used to love eating youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks), but my husband is afraid that the baby won't get enough milk. Will eating youtiao during the postpartum period cause a decrease in milk supply?Doctor's answer:
Hello, youtiao does not belong to milk-boosting foods. As long as they are not stimulating foods, there is nothing to worry about. It should be fine not to eat chives, fennel, and Sichuan peppercorns. You should eat more nutritious and easily digestible foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to enhance your body and boost your immunity. It is recommended to warm your chest with warm water regularly, keep the ducts of the glands unobstructed, maintain a happy mood, and ensure adequate sleep.
