Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. My milk supply was already not very abundant, so I pay close attention to my diet, fearing that I might experience a decrease in milk production. Therefore, I would like to know if eating Eight Treasure Congee during breastfeeding can lead to a decrease in milk supply.Doctor's answer:
It's edible! Eight Treasure Congee is very nutritious because it has a variety of ingredients. It doesn't contain any foods that are likely to cause milk to come back, and it will never be extremely cold or spicy, as these can cause your baby to have diarrhea or stomach upset. Mom just needs to be careful not to eat foods that are likely to cause milk to come back, such as chives or barley tea. It is recommended that you maintain a regular daily routine, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, and drink plenty of hot water.
