What are the taboos of breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

I have some small bumps on my face and body, which were diagnosed by a doctor as flat warts. What worries me is that I also have a few on my nipple. Now that I am in the late stage of pregnancy, I am very concerned about whether breastfeeding will affect the baby.

Doctor's answer:

During lactation, avoid spicy foods because consuming them during this period can enter the breast milk and affect the baby's health. Chocolate should also be avoided during lactation because the theobromine in chocolate can seep into breast milk and accumulate in the baby's body. Theobromine can harm the nervous system and heart, relax muscles, increase urine output, and cause indigestion and sleep disturbances in the baby. Avoid foods that suppress milk production, such as leeks, malt water, ginseng, and others. Do not eat pickled fish or meat, and avoid excessive salt intake, as it can increase the burden on the kidneys and be harmful to them.
