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 to avoid milk regression. Therefore, I would like to know what to do if I eat chicken, as it is believed to cause milk regression.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the chicken meat is still high in hormones. If used during lactation, it may stimulate the breasts and lead to milk suppression, so it is not recommended to consume chicken meat. During lactation, you can drink more broth and water to help increase milk production. Drinking more fish soup, as well as other types of meat broth, can also be beneficial. Additionally, you can consume more high-quality protein, such as eggs and milk.
