Patient's question:
I am 21 years old this year, and I just had a baby. My mother-in-law suggested that I could drink some Andrographis water during breastfeeding, saying it has a certain relieving effect on the baby's jaundice. But I don't know if I can drink it. Please ask, does drinking Andrographis water during breastfeeding cause milk to stop?Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding is okay to drink chenpi water (damp water). It can have some anti-inflammatory effects, and it's fine to drink a little less. For this type of water, it actually has a relatively small impact on your body. However, drinking too much can cause many problems with milk production in your breasts. So, you can drink a sufficient amount, but don't overdo it. Generally, there's no problem.
