Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and my child is two months old. We have been exclusively breastfeeding. Today at noon, my mother-in-law was preparing to make chive dumplings. I heard that chives can cause milk to decrease, so I wanted to know if chive blossoms can also cause milk to decrease?Doctor's answer:
Chives can be consumed in moderation during breastfeeding, but caution should be exercised when eating them. Chives are aphrodisiac foods that have the effects of invigorating the body, warming the liver, and warming the kidneys. Breastfeeding mothers can eat them, but they should not consume too much at once. During breastfeeding, they must pay attention to a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, and ensuring adequate rest. Drinking fish soup and pork rib soup regularly is also recommended. I hope the above answer is helpful to you.
