Can mung bean soup really help with milk production?

Generally, mung bean soup does not directly help with lactation, although its nutritional content may be beneficial for milk production.

Mung beans are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Drinking mung bean soup in moderation can help supplement the nutrients needed during lactation, thereby indirectly promoting milk production. However, this effect does not directly act on the mammary glands but rather improves overall physical condition. Therefore, one should not overly rely on mung bean soup to resolve lactation issues.

In addition, mung beans have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying the body. For cases of insufficient milk flow caused by internal dampness and heat, moderate consumption of mung bean soup may provide some relief. Postpartum women with weak constitutions or cold deficiency in the spleen and stomach should consume it cautiously to avoid affecting postpartum recovery. If breast milk supply is insufficient, measures such as massage or acupuncture may be taken under medical advice, and medication may be used when necessary, following a physician's guidance.

In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, develop healthy eating habits, and ensure adequate nutrient intake to improve overall health.
