Patient's question:
My child is now two months old. The milk is not enough, the child does not eat formula milk, and when he does, he vomits and cries. Every day, he only eats the insufficient milk I provide, and it seems he is not full enough. So, I would like to ask if eating onions during breastfeeding can reduce milk supply.Doctor's answer:
It is okay to eat onions during breastfeeding. You can consume soups like pig trotter soup, lean meat soup, millet porridge, eggs, fresh fish soup, chicken soup, etc., which are rich in water-soluble nutrients. They not only help with physical recovery but also aid in milk production. It is important to avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods as they can reduce milk production. It is recommended that you can promote milk production through massage and by encouraging the baby to suckle more. Drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible foods, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid staying up late and ensure adequate sleep.
