Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. My milk supply was already not very abundant, so I pay close attention to my diet to avoid the risk of milk supply reduction. Therefore, I would like to know if eating scallions during breastfeeding can lead to a decrease in milk supply.Doctor's answer:
Mothers who eat scallions will never experience milk suppression. If you want to reduce milk production, it is recommended to consume foods such as chives, green beans, mushrooms, oatmeal, ham, hawthorn, chocolate, etc., as these are beneficial for milk suppression. During breastfeeding, it is best to avoid MSG and consume it in moderation. Also, limit the intake of ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Additionally, reduce the consumption of fried, deep-fried, and greasy foods. I hope my explanation helps you!
