Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a young woman, 26 years old. I am a nursing mother. Recently, eating anything has made me feel particularly sad, and I am afraid it will affect my milk. Please ask if eating MSG during breastfeeding can reduce milk supply.Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding women can consume MSG without experiencing milk suppression. Generally, foods with strong and cold-natured properties may lead to milk suppression, such as crabs, snails, and hawthorns. Spices that can cause milk suppression include vinegar, garlic, Sichuan pepper, and fennel, while excessive salt intake may also lead to milk suppression. MSG has a low for breastfeeding women, and the sodium content in it is not high. As long as you don't add too much MSG when cooking and ensure the dish isn't too salty, it is generally unlikely to cause milk suppression.Regarding this condition, patients should not only receive necessary treatment but also pay attention to their daily care. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and sleep schedule can help them recover more quickly.
