Patient's question:
I am 23 years old. My mother-in-law always tells me to eat figs, but I don't know if figs are good or not. I am currently breastfeeding. I dare not eat them. She always says that eating figs is good for my health. Can I really eat figs?Doctor's answer:
It is okay to eat figs during breastfeeding. Generally, it will never affect milk production, but it still depends on the mother's individual constitution. Moreover, figs are known to promote milk production and have no relation to weaning. If you have low milk supply, you can cook a fig, peanut, and pig stomach soup or eat a fig and pig trotter soup. The ingredients in figs have very low allergenic components, which is good for the child and beneficial for the mother as well. Wishing you good health, thank you!
