Does eating ginger while postpartum cause milk to stop?

Patient's question:

Just now my friend said that postpartum women shouldn't eat ginger because it can cause milk to stop producing. But I have ginger in my soup every day and also in my porridge, so I wanted to ask if eating ginger while postpartum can stop milk production?

Doctor's answer:

Ginger can be consumed during childbirth, and it will not cause milk reflux. Ginger is rich in vitamins. Mother ginger can replenish energy, maintain vitality, reduce fatigue caused by childbirth, and alleviate pain. It is important to rest and avoid excessive fatigue. Pay attention to a nutritious and balanced diet, and avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. In daily life, as long as you pay more attention to maintaining a good mood, drink more crucian carp soup and pig trotter soup to help with milk production, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid catching a cold, you can avoid getting sick.
