taro, also known as taro and taro, is a kind of root vegetable that people love. It is rich in starch, protein, vitamins and minerals, and has rich nutritional value. In the folk, there is a saying that eating taro will lead to milk return, but in fact, this statement is not accurate.

from a scientific point of view, there is nothing in taro that will lead to milk return. Milk returning is caused by the decrease of prolactin level in the body, and has nothing to do with food intake. Therefore, eating taro will not directly lead to milk return.

from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, taro is flat and sweet, enters the spleen and lung meridians, and has the effects of invigorating the spleen and stomach, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women in lactation are deficient in qi and blood, and their spleen and stomach are weak. Eating taro is helpful to invigorate qi and nourish blood, regulate the spleen and stomach, and promote the secretion of milk.

It should be noted that taro is a kind of food with high starch content. Eating too much at one time can easily lead to satiety and affect digestion and absorption. Therefore, lactating women should eat taro in moderation, not in large quantities at one time.

Taro contains a lot of dietary fiber. Excessive consumption may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal distension and diarrhea. Therefore, for lactating women with weak gastrointestinal function, it is recommended to eat less or not to eat taro.

Eating taro will not bring back milk, but will help to regulate the spleen and stomach and promote the secretion of milk. Breast-feeding women can eat taro in moderation, but they should be careful not to eat it in large quantities at one time, so as not to cause indigestion and other discomfort.
