I have been breastfeeding my baby for two and a half months. Can I drink red dates and Tremella soup during this period? Is this soup good for increasing milk supply, decreasing milk supply, or has no effect on milk?Doctor's answer:

However, tremella has the of nourishing fluids and blood, so it is not advisable to consume tremella soup during menstruation.In addition to drinking red dates and tremella soup, to ensure abundant milk production, lactating mothers should consume more lean meat, such as pork, chicken, and fish. It is also recommended to drink a glass of pregnancy milk powder in the morning and evening each day. Additionally, getting enough sleep is important. Drinking more broth is beneficial for milk production, but avoid diuretic soups like winter melon soup or coix seed soup.
