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 milk regression. Therefore, I would like to know if eating green peppers can cause milk regression during lactation.Doctor's answer:
Eating green peppers during breastfeeding will never cause milk to decrease. However, it is best to eat green peppers in moderation during breastfeeding, as the food consumed by nursing mothers can easily pass to the baby. Eating too many green peppers may cause the baby to have digestive issues, such as stomach upset or internal heat in severe cases. Additionally, consuming too many green peppers can also lead to symptoms like constipation in postpartum women. Since every baby has a different constitution, mothers should pay attention to dietary hygiene during breastfeeding and try to choose light and simple foods.
