Patient's question:
Does drinking buckwheat tea during breastfeeding cause milk to decrease? My friend said it can, I want to learn more, does buckwheat reduce milk supply?Doctor's answer:
Many people know that breastfeeding women should not drink barley tea unless they want to induce lactation. Some believe that the taste of buckwheat tea is similar to barley tea, and drinking it may also lead to lactation. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Buckwheat tea and barley tea are completely different substances. Drinking buckwheat tea will not affect the baby's health and will not cause lactation. However, it is necessary to drink it in moderation because buckwheat tea has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire. Drinking too much can easily cause diarrhea.
