Patient's question:
Please let me know if I'm still in the postpartum period and if consuming some brown sugar will cause milk to stop producing. What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum women need to enhance warmth, and at the same time, they need to use medication or dietary therapy to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Brown sugar has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Usually, brown sugar is needed after delivery, typically administered through brown sugar ginger water or brown sugar egg packets. Drinking brown sugar water is beneficial for postpartum health and recovery, and it does not cause milk to return. Some suggest that it can be used safely. You must pay more attention to rest during this month and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
