Introduction
Under normal circumstances, when breastfeeding mothers need to replenish nutrients, improve fatigue, or enhance immunity, soaking black wolfberry in water—rich in anthocyanins and various trace elements—can help nourish the body and simultaneously promote improved breast milk quality. Moderate consumption will not burden maternal or infant health and can aid in alleviating physical weakness during lactation.

During the normal postpartum lactation period, it is acceptable to consume black goji berry-infused water as a supplement, provided it is taken in a well-regulated and moderate manner. However, it is not recommended for women with a relatively hot body constitution or those with specific health conditions. If any abnormalities occur, prompt medical attention is advised. Detailed explanations are as follows:

When lactating mothers need to supplement nutrition, alleviate fatigue, or enhance immunity, black goji berry-infused water, which is rich in anthocyanins and various trace elements, can help nourish the body and improve the quality of breast milk. Moderate consumption will not burden the health of either mother or baby and may help alleviate physical weakness during lactation.

However, if a lactating mother has a hot body constitution or is experiencing symptoms such as internal heat, sore throat, or swollen throat, consuming black goji berry-infused water is not advisable. Black goji berries are warm in nature and may exacerbate internal heat, worsening these symptoms. Moreover, excessive consumption may lead to indigestion or other adverse reactions, disrupting the health balance during lactation.

Before consuming black goji berry-infused water, lactating mothers should assess whether it is suitable based on their personal health condition and consult with a physician to ensure safety and avoid potential adverse effects on maternal and infant health due to improper consumption.
