Patient's question:
Can lactating women eat red bean paste? The red beans I use are red soybeans (love beans), not red small beans (red beans). What are the differences between them? Which one is better to eat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Madam. Boiling Job's tears and red beans in water can also be considered a type of "Chinese herbal medicine." It is safe to drink during breastfeeding, but it is best to consume it in moderation.Medical advice: Job's tears have diuretic, stomach-strengthening, and other benefits, while red beans also have diuretic, anti-swelling, and stomach-strengthening effects. Job's tears help expel dampness and water, while red beans nourish the blood and moisturize the stomach. However, during breastfeeding, the main focus should be on nutrition. As long as the child's digestive system shows no discomfort and there are no changes in milk quality, it can be consumed long-term. The amount to drink should be adjusted based on individual constitution.
Wishing you and your baby health and happiness!
