Does eating cabbage during breastfeeding cause milk to decrease?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am a young woman, 26 years old. I don't have enough milk, and it's thin. Is it okay to eat cabbage during breastfeeding to reduce milk supply?

Doctor's answer:

Breastfeeding is perfectly fine with cabbage. Cabbage is a common green vegetable in daily life, and its nutritional value can promptly supply both the pregnant mother and the fetus. Although what causes milk suppression varies from person to person, it is rare for cabbage to trigger milk suppression during the postpartum period. Compared to this condition, patients should, in addition to necessary treatments, also pay attention to their daily care to ensure a healthy lifestyle, which will help them overcome the illness more quickly.
