Patient's question:
I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. Therefore, I would like to know if eating zucchini can cause a decrease in milk production.Doctor's answer:
Zucchini is never known to cause milk suppression. Common foods that can lead to milk suppression include malt sugar, hawthorn, chives, pepper, star anise, MSG, green beans, ginseng, mushrooms, eggplant, grapefruit, lotus root, black fungus, chocolate, bamboo shoots, and rolled oats. Malt, malt milk powder (usually raw malt) have a milk-suppressing effect. It is recommended that you maintain a regular daily routine, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water.
