Patient's question:
My child is now two months old. The milk is not enough, and the child does not drink formula milk. If he drinks it, he vomits and cries. Every day, he only eats the insufficient milk I provide, and it seems he is not full enough. So, I would like to ask: does eating onions during breastfeeding cause milk to decrease?Doctor's answer:
During lactation, you can consume foods like onion soup, lean meat soup, millet porridge, eggs, fish soup, and chicken soup, which are rich in water-soluble nutrients. They not only aid in physical recovery but also help increase milk production. It is advisable to avoid raw and spicy foods in daily life, as these are recommendations to reduce milk production. Massage and encouraging the baby to nurse more can also promote milk production. It is recommended to eat nutrient-rich foods while breastfeeding.
