Patient's question:
Can breastfeeding mothers eat shrimp while breastfeeding, and what kind of impact will it have on the baby?Doctor's answer:
You can eat shrimp during breastfeeding because they not only have excellent nutrition but also have a strong effect on promoting lactation. If a woman has a low milk supply or no milk after giving birth, she can eat more shrimp. This not only helps stimulate lactation but also provides excellent nutrition for both the baby and the mother. Especially, shrimp are rich in protein, which has a calming effect, so experts often recommend that postpartum women eat more calcium-rich foods.
