Patient's question:
I have very little milk. Will eating large red dates increase or decrease milk production? Thank you. I have never been treated for this. Do red dates cause milk to decrease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is okay to eat jujubes during breastfeeding as they have the effect of tonifying qi and blood and can be consumed. Jujubes have the effect of tonifying qi and blood and can be eaten, and it is recommended to consume more dishes such as crucian carp soup, pig trotter soup, and pork rib soup, which are helpful for milk production. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more broth and water, breastfeed according to your needs, maintain normal milk secretion, and drink more soups like fish soup while drinking less chicken soup and pig trotter soup. Also, drink plenty of water. Wishing you health and happiness!
