Patient's question:
I've had my baby for a week now and I've been eating a lot of chicken and fish lately. I even feel a bit tired of it myself. I was wondering if it's okay for postpartum women to eat rabbit meat? I've also heard that it can help with milk production, but I'm not sure and don't want to eat anything without knowing. So, I wanted to ask for some advice.Doctor's answer:
Postpartum women can consume rabbit meat in moderation. Rabbit meat includes both domestic and wild varieties, with domestic rabbit meat also known as vegetable rabbit meat. Rabbit meat is rich in protein and contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc. It also has a high content of vitamin A. Additionally, rabbit meat has tender and fine muscle fibers, making it easy to digest and absorb. However, rabbit meat has a sweet, cold, and slightly sour taste, and it is recommended to consume warm foods postpartum. Postpartum women should not overeat rabbit meat either. It is safe for to eat, but they should not consume too much.
