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 regression. Therefore, I would like to know if eating scallions during breastfeeding can lead to milk regression.Doctor's answer:
Mothers who eat onions will never experience milk suppression. If you want to reduce milk supply, it is recommended to consume foods like chives, green beans, mushrooms, oatmeal, ham, hawthorn, and chocolate, as these are beneficial for milk suppression. Additionally, during breastfeeding, it is best to avoid excessive MSG and limit the intake of ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Also, reduce the consumption of fried, deep-fried, and greasy foods. I hope my explanation helps you!
