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. To promote milk production, I eat some very greasy foods every day. Today, I want to eat lettuce. Will eating lettuce cause milk to decrease for postpartum women?Doctor's answer:
Mothers who eat lettuce generally will not experience milk suppression, but it is better to consume it when cooked. It should not be eaten in extremely cold conditions to avoid causing diarrhea in the baby. During the postpartum period, it is essential to pay attention to proper dietary balance, ensuring adequate meat intake and avoiding any food restrictions. Maintain a balanced nutrition while also being mindful of preventing colds and keeping warm. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and breathe fresh air. I hope my explanation helps you, thank you!
