Patient's question:
I am seven months pregnant now, and I have gained nearly 50 pounds compared to before I was pregnant. My appetite is really good, and I can eat a lot. My mother-in-law says that to ensure I have milk after giving birth, she gives me chicken soup, pork rib soup, and things like that every day. I can't really stomach it anymore, but for the sake of the child, I'm still enduring it. But is this approach scientifically sound? Does drinking more soup in the late stages of pregnancy really help with milk production?Doctor's answer:
But this isn't necessarily the case. For those who don't produce milk at the beginning, drinking soup may not be very effective. However, it varies from person to person. For those who start producing milk early, drinking soup can increase milk production. It's a good idea to eat some autumn pears appropriately. They are crisp, juicy, and have a sweet and pleasant aroma. Their flavor is mellow and delightful.Their nature is sweet, slightly cold, and slightly sour, with effects such as clearing heat, promoting diuresis, soothing the throat, lowering blood pressure, calming the mind, moistening the lungs, suppressing coughs, and generating body fluids. They can treat pregnancy edema and pregnancy-induced hypertension. They also have the benefits of calming the nerves, nourishing the heart and liver, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and can comprehensively prevent and treat lung infections and hepatitis.
