Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. Today, my friend brought a bunch of walnuts. I would like to ask if walnuts are galactagogues or lactagogues?Doctor's answer:
Hello, eating walnuts will not cause milk to decrease, but it is not very effective for increasing milk production. However, walnuts are effective for the brain development, intellectual development, and hair growth of children. They are a type of nut food. You can eat about 6 walnuts per day. Pay attention to the fact that postpartum women should not eat too greasy foods. Also, monitor the baby's bowel movements. Avoid acidic foods for postpartum women to prevent milk from decreasing.
