Is sesame for weaning or increasing milk supply?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I just had a baby, and now I'm breastfeeding. Some people say that certain things can cause milk suppression, and I want to know if sesame is for milk suppression or milk stimulation.

Doctor's answer:

Mothers who consume black sesame seeds have a certain function similar to milk. Black sesame seeds are rich in amino acids, which can activate breast cells in postpartum women and also promote their metabolic function, helping with milk production. Additionally, it needs to be adjusted according to specific conditions. If the milk supply is insufficient due to poor postpartum mood, it is necessary to maintain a carefree mindset. If there is a lack of nutrition, you can appropriately consume some black sesame seeds, and you can choose traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the syndrome based on the situation. Acupuncture treatment is also a very good principle.
