Can I eat lettuce during lactation?
You can eat lettuce during lactation. Lettuce has high nutritional value and is rich in many vitamins, among which the contents of vitamin A and vitamin B are more than four times that of tomato. Lactating mothers can also eat it, and eating it will not affect their health and breastfeeding quality. Breast-feeding mothers can supplement the energy and nutrients needed by the body, and they can also let the baby absorb these nutrients through milk. The carotene content in lettuce is the best among many vegetables, which has the function of protecting eyes and improving eyesight. Breastfeeding mothers can eat it, which plays an important role in protecting their baby's vision through breastfeeding.
Lettuce is also high in calcium, iron and phosphorus, which is an ideal vegetable to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency (rickets). Breast-feeding mothers can effectively prevent rickets. Lettuce also contains a large amount of dietary fibres and trace elements such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and a small amount of iron, copper and zinc, which can strengthen the digestion and absorption of protein and fat in the body and improve the blood circulation in the stomach.
In addition, raw food is an alkaline food, which neutralizes acidic foods such as grains and meat and has the function of adjusting the acid-base balance of body fluids. These are very healthy for both mother and baby. To sum up, you can eat lettuce during lactation, but if the breastfeeding mother or baby is a person with frequent urination or stomach cold, it is not appropriate to eat more lettuce. In addition, breastfeeding mothers should not eat lettuce raw, which is easy to diarrhea, which is not conducive to breastfeeding. Be sure to wash it before eating and eat it when it is cooked. When eating, it is not suitable to eat with the food that comes back to milk, such as leek and pepper.
