Can you breastfeed after eating hot pot?

Patient's question:

Last night I had hot pot. Today, the baby cried when feeding and didn't like it. What could be the reason? BB just turned one month old, drinking both breast milk and formula. Now, she really wants to eat hot pot, so I'm asking if it's okay to eat.

Doctor's answer:

During lactation, it is necessary to control your diet and avoid stimulating foods. After giving birth, you can eat vegetables and fruits. If you are concerned about coldness, then eat less cold fruits like watermelon and bananas. The diet for postpartum women should be light and frequent meals, with a balance of meat and vegetables. It is especially important to emphasize a light diet, as the food should be easy to digest. Absolutely avoid overeating to prevent excessive nutrition. During the postpartum period, the room should be frequently ventilated, but avoid direct airflow between doors and windows. Do not let the draft blow on the postpartum woman or the baby to prevent colds.
