Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and my child is getting bigger. I feel that breastfeeding can no longer meet his physical growth needs, so I want to wean. Will eating chestnuts cause a decrease in milk supply?Doctor's answer:
Never let down. There are many reasons for low milk supply. Improper breastfeeding methods, poor maternal mood, or consuming foods or medications that can lead to low milk supply (such as malt, hen, chives, the legendary beer shrimp from Guiyang, or estrogen-rich foods, etc.) can all cause milk to decrease. Some mothers believe that taking a lot of lactation-enhancing drugs will make their milk increase, but this is wrong and will never be effective.
