What foods can nursing mothers eat to increase milk production

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please advise what postpartum women should eat to increase milk production.

Doctor's answer:

In terms of diet, you can appropriately increase your intake of dairy products, eggs, and lean meat. It's especially beneficial to consume nutritious soups such as crucian carp soup, pig trotter soup, and pork rib soup, as these can help with lactation. Additionally, it's important to ensure adequate fluid intake. Generally, it's necessary to promptly assess whether the patient needs to take oral estrogen based on their symptoms. Maintain emotional stability, ensure balanced nutrition, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods.
