Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. Recently, I just gave birth to a baby, and my body is still very weak. I am currently in the postpartum period. Can silkworm pupae be eaten during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
From a pharmacological perspective, silkworm pupae contain rich proteins and a variety of different amino acids, and they can be eaten as long as one is not allergic to them. The large amount of arginine in silkworm pupae can gradually eliminate fatigue, making them a high-level nutritional supplement. Therefore, it is said that pregnant women eating silkworm pupae can also be beneficial for their children. However, if a mom has relatively poor absorption function, we should not consume them in large quantities. I hope my explanation helps you.
