Why This Recipe?

🌸 Traditional Wisdom

Pork trotter and soybean soup is a word-of-mouth confinement lactation soup.

🔬 Modern Science

Trotters give protein and collagen, soybeans add plant protein, calcium and iron; no RCT proves direct galactagogue effect, but the protein supports lactation energy — skim the fat.
