During the postpartum period, moderate consumption of fish soup usually has no negative impact on the baby and does not cause diarrhea. Fish soup is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, which are beneficial for maternal recovery, promote baby’s brain development, and increase breastmilk production to support baby’s growth. However, excessive consumption may lead to bloating, nausea, and other digestive discomfort, especially due to its greasiness which may lead to obesity issues.
It is important to pay attention to the high purine content in fish soup, especially for individuals with gout, as excessive consumption can increase uric acid production, causing joint pain and swelling. Additionally, those allergic to seafood should avoid fish soup to prevent skin reactions like itching and rashes.
The intake of fish soup should be adjusted cautiously based on individual health conditions. Breastfeeding mothers should lean towards a diet that is light and easily digestible, such as egg custard, millet porridge, accompanied by fresh fruits and vegetables like apples, bananas, and cucumbers, to comprehensively supplement micronutrients and promote health. In specific cases, consult a doctor for guidance on choosing suitable formula milk for supplementary feeding.
