Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and I am currently breastfeeding. Yesterday, I drank a soup that contained star anise. I don't know if it will cause milk to return, so I want to find out if adding star anise to soup can cause milk to return.Doctor's answer:
In soup, star anise can cause milk to return, but occasional consumption will not lead to milk return, so don't worry too much. After giving birth, the body is weak and needs to consume some nutritious foods to nourish the body and help replenish milk. Due to the weakness of the body after childbirth, it is easy to catch colds, which can lead to madness. It is recommended to pay attention to avoiding wind and keeping warm. Pay special attention to keeping the soles of your feet and your waist warm. During breastfeeding, pay attention to dietary hygiene and do not take medicine casually. Generally speaking, it is recommended that mothers who are breastfeeding eat less spicy and stimulating spices, such as Sichuan pepper, fennel, and chives, and drink more light soups.
