Can you eat garlic sprouts during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old this year, and I am still in my postpartum period. Today, I really want to eat stir-fried eggs with garlic sprouts, but I also need to breastfeed. Originally, there wasn't enough milk for the baby, but eating it might reduce milk production. Can I eat garlic sprouts during the postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

In the postpartum period, you can eat garlic sprouts. Garlic sprouts do not have the effect of reducing milk supply, so you can eat them with peace of mind without worrying about milk reduction. Pay special attention not to eat foods like chives, old hen chicken, rolled oats, or malted milk powder, as these can reduce milk supply. It is recommended that you first focus on eating foods that promote milk production, such as crucian carp, spareribs, peanuts, and pig trotters. Then, maintain emotional stability and good rest, and pay attention to drinking plenty of soup and water.
