Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. A few weeks ago, I just gave birth to a baby, and my body is still very weak. Now I am in the postpartum period. To promote milk production, I eat some very greasy food every day. Is wild chicken soup good for milk production or does it reduce milk production?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is okay to eat chicken after giving birth. The idea that eating chicken leads to reduced milk production lacks scientific evidence. Milk volume is closely related to diet, and if it is not frequently expressed, it will gradually decrease until it stops. I suggest you drink more lactation-promoting soups, such as papaya soup, crucian carp soup, pork trotter soybean (peanut) soup, and jujube chicken soup. Rest more during the day and avoid getting cold. I hope my explanation can help you, thank you!
