Patient's question:
My wife is currently at home recovering from childbirth. Recently, her milk production has suddenly decreased, and she is very worried. She suspects it might be due to eating steamed buns, so she wants to ask if eating steamed buns while postpartum can lead to a decrease in milk supply?Doctor's answer:
Eating steamed buns while postpartum will not cause milk suppression. Generally, eating steamed buns has little impact on milk production. Appropriately supplementing nutrition after childbirth is still beneficial for milk secretion. Therefore, it is beneficial to consume fresh fish, eggs, and soy products in moderation. It is recommended to eat as much meat soup as possible, maintain a relaxed mood, avoid staying up late and overexerting yourself, use warm water to apply to your breasts more often, and pay attention to breast hygiene. Thank you.
