【Effects】

After giving birth, the concentrations of estrogen and progesterone in a woman's blood decrease, which helps prolactin to play a role in promoting the formation of milk. However, the ovaries and egg shells of hens contain a certain amount of estrogen, which can weaken the effectiveness of the mother's prolactin and affect lactation. The testicles of roosters contain male hormones, which have the effect of counteracting estrogen. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat old hens one week after giving birth. You can eat a large stewed rooster (including the testicles), which will undoubtedly increase the mother's milk.
