Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old. Should I drink boiled water during breastfeeding? Can clam soup increase milk production? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
It is for weaning. Additionally, foods that are beneficial for weaning include: malt sugar, hawthorn and chives, Sichuan pepper, star anise, MSG, green beans, ginseng, mushrooms, eggplants, pomelos, lotus roots, black fungus, chocolate, bamboo shoots, and rolled oats. Malt extract, roasted malt, and malted milk powder (generally raw malt) also have a lactation-suppressing effect. During breastfeeding, it is advisable to avoid MSG and consume less scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Additionally, limit fried, deep-fried, and greasy foods.
