Does eating pears during lactation cause milk to decrease?

Patient's question:

My best friend is currently on maternity leave and suddenly has a craving for yellow peaches. When I visited her, I brought some yellow peaches for her, but her mother-in-law wouldn't let her eat them, saying it's not good to eat yellow peaches. So, I had to sneak them to her. I'm wondering if it's okay to eat yellow peaches while breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: You can eat yellow peaches during breastfeeding, but you shouldn't eat too many. Yellow peaches are rich in nutrients and also contain gelatinous substances. When they reach the large intestine, they can absorb a lot of water, which can help prevent constipation. However, eating too many can lead to diarrhea, so it's important to eat them in moderation. Yellow peaches can also stimulate appetite, lower blood sugar, and reduce blood lipids. They have no effect on milk production. Additionally, yellow peaches are rich in antioxidants and trace elements, so they are safe to eat during breastfeeding.
