Is it better to drink soup or eat meat to increase milk production?

During the confinement period, as the baby develops and grows, the baby's appetite will gradually increase and the baby will need more milk, so during the confinement period, the baby needs to eat some foods that promote milk secretion. However, there are many kinds of foods that promote milk secretion, and it is better to drink soup than to eat meat to increase milk secretion, because when the soup is made, all the nutrients in the meat are transferred to the soup. You can drink more chicken soup and crucian carp soup, which are both soups that increase milk secretion.

Mothers who have less milk during the confinement period may know that drinking more soup can help milk come in faster and increase the amount of milk. Some older people also say that drinking soup is more conducive to milk production than eating meat. Is this true?

In fact, from a nutritional point of view, meat is more nutritious than soup, because soup contains fat and less soluble amino acids, water-soluble inorganic salts and vitamins; while meat is rich in protein, which will prevent postpartum women from becoming bloated and will help them produce milk faster.

In addition, the various soups that mothers drink during the confinement period, such as chicken soup, crucian carp soup, bone soup, etc., are all relatively greasy non-solid foods. Drinking too much after delivery can easily lead to a poor appetite and affect the mother's desire to eat other things.

In addition, if mothers consume too much soup, they will easily accumulate too much fat, which is not conducive to their body recovery after childbirth. Of course, in order to produce more milk quickly, it is necessary for mothers to drink more soup, but they should drink the right amount and not excessively.

The following matters are also what new mothers need to pay attention to when they want to increase their milk supply after childbirth.

First, let the baby suck the nipple early, so that the new mother's breasts can quickly establish lactation and milk ejection reflexes, and milk can be produced faster.

Second, try to let the baby sleep with the mother. When the baby wants to breastfeed, let the baby drink in time. This can also promote the secretion of milk.

Third, pay attention to the material of the bra. Try to use a bra made of pure cotton and avoid wearing a bra with an underwire, which will help protect your breasts.

Fourth, stay away from elements such as tobacco and alcohol that are not conducive to milk production and milk quality, and do not smoke or drink during the confinement period.

Fifth, eat appropriate lactation-promoting foods, such as soups or dishes that are beneficial to lactation, to ensure sufficient milk.

Sixth, avoid being in a bad mood, be good at relieving stress, and don’t let your mood get worse during breastfeeding. The mother’s milk production is directly related to her mood.
