Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a young woman, 29 years old. I have had a baby for one month, and I am currently breastfeeding. However, mainly because my milk is not very sufficient, I would like to ask if eating water spinach will cause milk to decrease?Doctor's answer:
Eating amaranth will not cause milk suppression. Amaranth is a common green vegetable that contains rich nutrients such as vitamin A, carotene, protein, vitamin C, calcium, and potassium. It does not contain any components that suppress milk production and has no effect on milk suppression. However, it also does not have the effect of increasing milk production. For nursing mothers, consuming it in sufficient amounts is beneficial for nutrient digestion and stabilizing taste. Compared to this condition, friends who are ill should, in addition to necessary treatment, also pay attention to their daily care to ensure a good lifestyle, so they can overcome the illness as soon as possible.
