Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. Recently, I just gave birth to a baby, and my body is still very weak. I am currently in the postpartum period. To promote milk production, I eat some very greasy foods every day. Will drinking green tea cause milk to stop?Doctor's answer:
If it's just a small amount, it's not a problem. For nursing mothers, it's okay to drink a sufficient amount of tea, but be mindful not to consume it in large quantities. If possible, it's still better not to drink it. Because drinking too much tea allows tannins in the tea to be absorbed by the stomach lining and enter the bloodstream, where they produce a mild effect, thus inhibiting milk production and leading to insufficient milk supply. I hope my explanation helps you, thank you!
