Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. Therefore, I would like to know if eating lotus root can reduce milk supply during lactation.Doctor's answer:
Eating lotus root during lactation generally does not stimulate breast secretion, nor does it cause weaning. When deciding on food, be targeted. However, lotus root actually has great benefits for the human body. For example, it contains rich starch, which can promote the growth and development of breasts, increase breast metabolism, and increase various manifestations of breast blockage. However, during lactation,should not eat too much lotus root because it is a slightly cooling food. Eating too much can easily lead to the recurrence of damp-heat manifestations.
