Patient's question:
I am 30 years old. I have had my baby for over 10 days now and am currently breastfeeding. My main goal right now is to eat more to provide the baby with more breast milk. Today I ate cabbage. I would like to ask if cabbage is a galactagogue or a milk-suppressant?Doctor's answer:
Many people have a misconception that eating cabbage is blowing, in fact, this is a wrong idea. Cabbage is a harmless food, not only useless for milk production but also likely to cause the opposite effect. Therefore, it is best to avoid eating cabbage during breastfeeding, as it may lead to insufficient milk production. At this time, you can drink more pig trotter soup or fish soup to help. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
