What you are drinking is not [lactagogue soup], but [blocking milk soup]!

In the view of many people, if you want to lactagogue, you have to drink more soup, such as crucian carp soup, pig hoof soup and bone soup.

In fact, this kind of soup is thick and high in fat content, which is not conducive to milk production. If you eat it every day, it will also [fatten up].

When the mother eats too much fat, the fat content in the milk will also increase, which will easily cause milk deposition and even mastitis.

In addition to various nutritious soups, Yuezi wine and pangolin soup are not recommended. Not only is it useless, it may also endanger the health of mothers and babies.

There are only two truly reliable methods of lactagogue: feeding the baby + being in a good mood.

The baby’s sucking is the best [lactagogue] signal. Keeping a good mood also helps the mother secrete milk.
