Does eating sea cucumber reduce or increase breast milk production?

    Eating sea cucumber generally promotes lactation rather than inhibits it. Detailed analysis is as follows:

    Sea cucumbers are rich in high-quality protein, amino acids, and various trace elements, which can provide essential nutrients for lactating women and help promote milk secretion. Lactating women have increased nutritional needs, and the nutrients in sea cucumbers can improve physical weakness, enhance constitution, and provide the necessary building blocks for milk production. It is suitable for women with insufficient milk supply (who are not allergic to sea cucumbers) to consume in moderation.

    If a lactating woman is allergic to sea cucumbers or experiences discomfort such as indigestion after consumption, she should stop eating them immediately. In such cases, sea cucumbers will not help promote lactation. Allergic reactions may affect health, while indigestion may hinder nutrient absorption, potentially affecting milk production due to physical discomfort. At this point, alternative lactation-promoting foods should be considered.

    To promote milk production and maintain good health, lactating women are advised to maintain a balanced diet and consume more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as apples, kiwifruit, and milk.
