Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. I'm a bit worried that eating chicken liver and beef might cause milk to come back.Doctor's answer:
Eating chicken during breastfeeding does not cause milk suppression. The rich protein and amino acids in chicken are beneficial for both breastfeeding mothers and babies. Chicken and chicken soup are traditional foods for postpartum women, helping to restore physical health, promote milk production, and are essential nutrients during the postpartum period. However, it is important to avoid combining chicken with foods that may cause milk suppression, such as chives and Sichuan peppercorns, as this can reduce the mother's milk supply.
