Can you drink milk tea during breastfeeding? Will it reduce milk supply?

Patient's question:

The baby is four months old and has been breastfeeding. A friend came to visit and brought me milk tea. I want to drink milk tea, but will drinking milk tea cause milk suppression?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, it is best not to drink milk tea because it contains many additives. If consumed in excess, it can easily cause discomfort to the child after drinking it. If you want to drink something sweet or flavored, you can make it at home. Using fruit juice to make it is fresher and healthier. Breastfeeding women should also drink less other types of tea to avoid milk suppression.
