While you're pregnant, it's okay to indulge in mantou once in a while if you crave it. Keep in mind that mantou contains few valuable nutrients, and because it is high in carbs and fat, it can cause unnecessary weight gain if you eat too much.

Fluffy and comforting, you may eat mantou in moderation after giving birth. Its high carbohydrate content will give you energy, but other than that, it offers little in terms of nutrition and may cause weight gain if over-indulged in.

Breastfeeding mothers, go ahead and eat mantou in moderation. The high carbohydrate content will give you energy and stamina to nurse. However, over-eating can result in weight gain so go slow on them.

Mantou is not suitable for babies under the age of 11 months.
