Patient's question:
I am 26 years old. Since I just had a baby, I have been eating some very nutritious foods every day to help with lactation. It has been a long time since I've eaten coriander, and I'm a bit craving it. I just wanted to ask if coriander is good for lactation or if it reduces milk production?Doctor's answer:
Coriander is by no means suppressive of milk production; it can actually stimulate milk production. Coriander is rich in nutrients, containing vitamin C, carotene, vitamin B1, B2, and more, while also being rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, etc. Breastfeeding mothers can eat coriander. Breastfeeding mothers who want to increase milk production should drink more pork rib soup, crucian carp soup, pure milk, and pig trotter soup, as these can help stimulate milk production. It is best to avoid spicy foods and maintain a light diet.
