Patient's question:
Approximately ten days ago, my baby was finally born. The whole family was very happy because we could gather together in advance before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I prefer mooncakes, can I eat mooncakes during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
The main component in mooncakes is sugar, which is relatively high in content and can be eaten with apples. Regarding the impact on breast milk quality, it is best not to consume too many mooncakes at once to avoid blood sugar spikes. Eating mooncakes during lactation is not a problem as long as you don’t overeat, as it won’t cause any adverse effects. However, it does not have the effect of increasing milk production. So, it is okay to eat them. But avoid eating them frequently—small amounts are acceptable. During lactation, it is important to drink more soup. In your current situation, it is essential to follow your doctor’s advice and undergo timely examinations to clarify the condition before actively accepting treatment.
