Pregnancy

Hard bean curd, a common food in Asian cuisine, is safe for mummies-to-be to consume. It has protein, calcium, and vitamin A that build strong bones in your baby and improve your immunity. Watch out for high salt content in shop-bought hard tofu.

Postpartum

Mothers can eat hard bean curd after giving birth. Just pay attention to its freshness and your intake. You should not eat too much because it contains many food additives and higher salt content.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers can eat hard bean curd. Full of calcium and protein, it can increase milk supply and eliminate fatigue. Eat moderately due to high salt content.

Baby

Hard bean curd is not suitable for babies under the age of 11 months.
