Patient's question:
I've been very mindful of what I eat during breastfeeding, but I don't know why my milk supply has decreased recently. I've been eating red beans lately. Please let me know if red beans can reduce milk supply.Doctor's answer:
During lactation, it is important to pay attention to diet and avoid consuming special foods. Kidney beans (lentils) are edible. Lentils are rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Additionally, lentils contain very high dietary fiber, which is more than three times that of celery, helping to alleviate constipation and detoxify the body of lactating mothers. Lentils are highly nutritious. Therefore, you can eat them with peace of mind, as lentils will not return. You can also consume some pig trotters together when you have them.
