Patient's question:
I haven't heard that this can cause weaning, but during breastfeeding, if you eat chives or consume malt water, it can lead to weaning.Doctor's answer:
During breastfeeding, crying can lead to a decrease in milk production. If you feel upset during breastfeeding, experiencing constant suppression, depression, or irritability, it can reduce milk secretion and decrease milk supply. During breastfeeding, maintaining a relaxed mood and listening to cheerful music can promote capillary dilation, enhance mammary duct expansion, and stimulate milk production. Drinking nutritious soups during breastfeeding can also help, such as chicken soup, fish soup, pork rib soup, or pig trotter soup, all of which can promote milk production. If your milk supply is particularly low, you can also add some traditional Chinese herbs, like Tongcao (pumpkin seed) or Wangbuluxing (fennel), to the soup to boost milk production. It is best to avoid foods that can reduce milk supply, such as hawthorn, chives, green beans, pepper, star anise, and fennel.
