Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year, and I am still breastfeeding. Recently, I have been considering weaning my baby, but during the weaning period, I often experience leakage of milk. Does shiitake mushroom help with weaning or increase milk production?Doctor's answer:
Eating mushrooms in lactation will never cause milk suppression. Mushrooms have thick meat and a delicious taste. If nursing mothers often eat mushrooms, they can soften and protect blood vessels, reduce cholesterol, and prevent coronary heart disease. They can also significantly enhance the baby's immunity through breast milk. Mushrooms are rich in nutrients, containing a large amount of protein, carbohydrates, and various vitamins, which can promote the growth and development of the infant's brain and help regulate the balance of metabolic processes in the body.
