Some mothers want to have more milk after giving birth, but are afraid that they will gain weight without limit. So what kind of vegetarian soup can they drink to reduce milk production? I recommend these!

Yesterday, a mother left a message in the background and said:

Teacher, I am more than half a month postpartum, and I have been vomiting after drinking lactation soup these days. The soup, chicken soup, and crucian carp soup are not the same, but I really don’t want to drink this kind of broth anymore. It’s oily and tastes bad. I gained 6 pounds in a week. Are there any foods that don’t produce meat but also produce milk?

Indeed, in our traditional impression, when it comes to increasing lactation and promoting lactation, it must be animal foods such as pig's trotter soup and crucian carp soup. Because of their high protein content and rich nutrition, they can get a lot of people's favor.

However, there are indeed many vegetarian foods that are comparable in protein and other nutrients to meat, have less fat and high dietary fiber content, and are relatively healthier than meat. Today we will introduce several vegetarian foods that have very good lactation-stimulating effects, so that mothers who are tired of traditional lactation-inducing soups will have more choices.

1. Daylily

Daylily, also known as daylily and daylily, is the flower bud of daylily.

It is very rich in nutrients. Every 100 grams of dried daylily contains 14.1 grams of protein, which is almost the same as meat. The mineral content is also among the best among various types of plants.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that daylily has a sweet, cool and non-toxic nature, relieves heat, relieves the chest and diaphragm, soothes the five internal organs, and can be cooked to treat red and astringent urine. It has the effects of hemostasis, lactation and diuresis. Therefore, we nursing mothers eat more daylily, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also promote lactation.

The yam we are talking about here is Ma Gan yam, also known as Huaiyam, which has a very good qi-tonifying effect. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that yam has nourishing effects such as tonifying the middle and replenishing qi, strengthening muscles and spleen. There was a mother who suffered from qi deficiency after giving birth, so I recommended her to eat more yam. Every time this mother ate yam, her milk would definitely increase, and yam became a must-have vegetable at home.

Therefore, mothers with qi deficiency and low milk supply must eat more yams. Whether they are cooked porridge, stir-fried vegetables, or simply steamed, they will have very good effects.

Method: Peel, wash and slice the lettuce, beat the eggs Set aside;

Put oil in the pot, stir-fry the eggs, add the lettuce slices and stir-fry for one minute, then add the garlic, stir-fry, season with salt and serve.

When we make lettuce, it is best to cook it cold or simply stir-fry it. Do not fry it for too long, which will cause the loss of nutrients and the tender and crisp taste.

The several vegetarian foods recommended to you today are not only comparable in nutrient content to meat, but also vegetables contain a large amount of dietary fiber, which can also relieve constipation in breastfeeding mothers. But when we say that something is good, we must have a balanced intake. We cannot just eat vegetarian food without eating meat. Reasonable matching is the best choice.
