Can eating crabs reduce milk production?

Many breastfeeding women may choose to stop breastfeeding their babies after their babies are one year old. In the process of completely changing breastfeeding, women will go through a very painful process. In order to stop the secretion of milk as soon as possible, women will choose to help themselves by eating some food. Recently, many women have asked us whether eating crabs can help stop milk production. Below we will give a detailed explanation of this issue.

Eating crabs will not cause milk dryness. Wheat water and leeks can help reduce milk production.

Crabs contain high-quality protein and iodine, and it is okay to eat some during breastfeeding. However, crabs are cold in nature and contain a variety of proteins and purines, which can easily cause diarrhea or allergies in children. Therefore, considering the health of both mother and child during breastfeeding, it is best not to eat too much at one time, and pay attention to other diet after eating, and avoid eating cold foods to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrhea.

Crabs are rich in protein and contain high cholesterol and purine. Gout patients should exercise restraint when eating crabs. People with colds, hepatitis, and cardiovascular diseases should not eat crabs. China has a tradition of eating river crabs around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since traditional Chinese medicine believes that crabs are cold in nature, ginger paste, perilla and other seasonings are often used to prepare crabs.

Women should try to avoid eating too greasy foods when they stop breastfeeding their babies, because some meat foods will help women secrete more milk, thus failing to achieve the effect of weaning. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends avoid feeding their babies with milk and try to eat light food themselves.
