Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. I just gave birth to a baby recently, and my body is still very weak. I am currently in the postpartum period. Can I drink milk tea during lactation?Doctor's answer:
No, most bubble tea on the market is made with milk powder, food coloring, flavoring, and tapioca starch (referring to the pearls in the tea) and tap water. The main component of milk powder is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is a trans fat. These are harmful substances to the body, so it's best not to drink bubble tea during breastfeeding as it is not good for the baby's health. Regardless of the flavor, bubble tea is not recommended for consumption. Pay attention to frequent breastfeeding to prevent mastitis, avoid working overtime and having stomach issues, and do not consume spicy, fried, or greasy foods.
