Patient's question:
My baby is breastfed, and I had my period during breastfeeding. I'm wondering if the nutritional content of breast milk changes during my period. Will it affect my baby if he drinks it? I've noticed that my baby often passes gas after drinking my period milk, and sometimes he cries during feeding, which might be due to bloating. Could you please ask an expert if this is a concern? By the way, my baby is 51 days old.Doctor's answer:
Considering that the baby's symptoms are typical manifestations caused by excessive lung and stomach fire, it is recommended to give the baby some heat-clearing and fire-dispelling medications for regulation. It is also advisable to consume more fruits to improve recovery quality. Suggest eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as rough fiber foods, such as sweet potato porridge and pumpkin porridge. In the morning, drink warm water with a moderate amount of honey on an empty stomach. You can also take homemade fermented yogurt. It is important to cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements in the child.
