What is good to eat during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

I just had my baby half a month ago. Since it was a C-section, my mother said that the hospital area is required for C-sections, so it's necessary to take good care of your body. My family members cook all kinds of soups for me every day, saying they can help with milk production and are especially good for the body, so that it can recover quickly.

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who are breastfeeding need a lot of nutrients to meet the demands of feeding their babies. Family members should prepare sufficient nutritious foods for breastfeeding mothers, such as stewed pork trotters with mushrooms. Pork trotters have the effect of boosting milk production, especially the front trotters, which are more effective in promoting lactation. When buying, ask the seller to chop them into smaller pieces, then rinse and add ginger, scallions, and boiling water. Simmer until tender and then serve.
Stew crucian carp soup. Crucian carp is rich in high-quality protein and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. It warms the center, replenishes deficiency, strengthens the spleen, and promotes diuresis. When stewing the soup, add scallions, which can help breastfeeding mothers sweat and increase milk production. It is a nutritious dish for lactating mothers. Try to eat less fish meat and focus more on drinking the soup.
