I believe this is also a problem that many mothers are concerned about, so today the editor has collected the following milk-producing recipes. Mothers with low milk supply can refer to them. This will also help you produce milk, so that you won’t starve your baby.

Diet for lactation:

1. The diet during lactation should refer to the recommended supply of my country's Nutrition Society, increase the supply of various nutrients, especially high-quality protein, calcium, zinc, iron, iodine and B vitamins, and pay attention to the appropriate proportion between nutrients. For example, the heat supply ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrates should be 13%-15%, 27% and 58%-60% respectively. Breastfeeding mothers should also drink more chicken soup, fish soup, pork rib soup, crucian carp soup or pig's trotter soup to ensure sufficient milk.

2. Breastfeeding mothers can take multivitamins orally, or they can combine Chinese and Western medicines or acupuncture treatments under the guidance of a doctor.
