Can a nursing mother take calcium supplements?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can postpartum women take calcium supplements while breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, breastfeeding women should appropriately supplement with calcium. However, it is recommended to do so through dietary means, as this is safer for the baby. It is suggested that mothers drink 750ml of milk daily to meet the daily calcium needs of breastfeeding women. Regularly consuming foods such as pumpkin leaves and pumpkin seeds, white onions, ginger, tomatoes, etc., along with appropriate physical exercise, not smoking, and moderate alcohol consumption, will help improve male sperm quality.
